On Wednesday night, May 28, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir shared a statement through a Facebook post, expressing concern over the interim government led by Professor Muhammad Yunus. He pointed out that while the government has engaged in dialogues on a wide range of issues, it has failed to address the most crucial matter—the election roadmap.

Fakhrul emphasized that from the very beginning of the interim administration, the BNP has shown its willingness to cooperate and has played an active role in the ongoing reform process. The party has consistently participated in all relevant discussions, presented proposals, and offered counterarguments whenever there were disagreements. He reiterated that while reform is indeed a continuous and necessary process, it should not be used as an excuse to delay democratic elections.

He noted that Bangladesh has transitioned from periods of authoritarian rule and absolute autocracy, and the people are now ready to elect a new, truly representative parliament—one that will prioritize national development, institutional reforms, and the protection of human rights.

Fakhrul strongly criticized the interim government for its failure to take meaningful steps toward announcing an election roadmap, despite the BNP’s repeated calls. He questioned the administration’s sincerity and commitment, highlighting the fact that nearly ten months have passed since the interim government was formed, yet there has been no official announcement regarding the elections.

He also echoed the earlier remarks made the same day by BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman at a youth rally, reaffirming the party’s firm stance that elections must be held by December.
