On Wednesday, April 16, at 2:15 PM, the Ameer of Jamaat held a meeting with Nicole Chulick, the U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs, at the residence of the U.S. Deputy Head of Mission in Gulshan, Dhaka.

Following the meeting, the Jamaat Ameer spoke to reporters, stating, “They asked us when we would prefer the election to be held.”

He continued, “We informed them that the Chief Adviser had previously suggested holding the election either in December of this year or in June of the following year. We now want to see if the Chief Adviser remains committed to that timeline.”

The Ameer further added, “If we wait until June, we will face the monsoon season, storms, and various natural disasters. During that time, there will be concerns that the election might not happen at all. That is why we want the election to be held before Ramadan, before such concerns arise.”
