Responding to the Chief Adviser’s recent comments, the 12-Party Alliance stated that not just one group but all patriotic democratic parties in the country demand that the general elections be held this December. "Only a free, fair, and credible election can ensure the country's liberation and path to progress—history has repeatedly proven this," the alliance said.

The coalition alleged that the Chief Adviser is attempting to delay the election process by aligning with fringe, anti-liberation, and fundamentalist parties lacking public support. "Dr. Muhammad Yunus must understand that rhetorical maneuvering won’t secure his seat, nor will staged resignations. The public sees through his theatrics," the statement added. The alliance also questioned the legitimacy of the Advisory Council’s absence from the country’s ongoing pro-democracy movement.
