NCP Member Secretary Akhtar Hossain reaffirmed that the party remains committed to contesting under the lotus symbol, dismissing talk of alternatives.
He cited statements from over a hundred lawyers asserting there is no legal barrier to the symbol’s allocation.
Speaking on broader political reforms, Akhtar argued that elections without structural changes would only restore outdated systems. He emphasized that future elected representatives must adhere to proposed reforms before assuming power.
NCP leader Ariful Islam Adib added that the party is prepared for elections and sees the Constituent Assembly as the key to resolving Bangladesh’s political crisis. While NCP has not engaged in alliance talks, it believes a new political equation centered on the youth generation could soon emerge.
