BNP joins pre-election dialogue with EC

Bangladesh Nationalist Party-BNP and five other political parties joined the Election Commission’s dialogue on Wednesday afternoon.

The discussion began at 2:00pm in the city's Nirbachan Bhaban with Chief Election Commissioner AMM Nasir Uddin in the chair.

A three-member BNP delegation, led by its Standing Committee Member Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan, participated in the pre-election dialogue.

The other political parties that attended the afternoon session are Bangladesh Jatiya Party-BJP (Andaleev), Gonaodhikar Parishad, Nagorik Oikya, Bangladesh Republican Party-BRP and Bangladesh Samajtantrik Dal-Basad Marxist.

Earlier in the morning, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islam, National Citizen Party (NCP) and other political parties joined a separate dialogue arranged by the EC.

The Election Commission opened its pre-election dialogue with registered political parties on November 13 last and has already held talks with 34 parties.

Currently, there are 55 registered political parties, excluding the Awami League whose registration remains suspended.

The ongoing dialogue is considered as the last major task before the announcement of the national election schedule in early December.

In late September 2025, the Commission opened a series of electoral dialogues with different stakeholders amid talks with civil society representatives on September 28.

Later, the EC held separate dialogues with the representatives of teachers, senior journalists from different media outlets, election experts and election observers.
