Bangladesh Election Commissioner Brigadier General (Retd.) Abul Fazl Md. Sanaullah has confirmed that the 13th National Parliamentary Election and referendum will be held on time, dismissing any concerns about disruptions. Following a high-level meeting chaired by Chief Election Commissioner A M M Nasir Uddin in Dhaka, he stated that law enforcement agencies have assured full readiness to prevent any attempts to derail the electoral process.

The meeting, attended by senior officials from the Home Ministry, Armed Forces Division, Police, BGB, Ansar, and DMP, reviewed the national security situation ahead of the polls. Sanaullah said recent covert attacks, including one targeting Sharif Osman Hadi, are under investigation. He warned political parties to remain vigilant against infiltrators and misinformation on social media that could incite unrest.

Authorities have intensified operations to recover illegal weapons, restrict militant movement, and strengthen intelligence coordination, particularly in border and Rohingya-populated areas. The Election Commission expressed satisfaction with current measures but emphasized the need for continued vigilance to ensure a peaceful election environment.
