NCP Convener Nahid Islam has emphasized that the party wants both the Constitutional Assembly and legislature elections to be held under the legal framework of the July Charter. “The sooner this charter gets its legal basis, the sooner elections can be held,” he said before leaving for a five-day trip to China at the invitation of the Communist Party of China. Nahid explained that the delegation of eight NCP leaders aims to strengthen party-to-party ties, exchange political visions, and enhance government-to-people friendship between Bangladesh and China. He also expressed hope to meet with members of the Bangladeshi diaspora during the visit.
