The National Citizens Party (NCP) has announced that it will discuss Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus’s recent national address within the party forum before making any official statement, likely not before Thursday evening. In his speech, Yunus declared that a national referendum will be held on the same day as the upcoming parliamentary election, expected in early February. The referendum will seek public approval for the July National Charter, which includes constitutional reforms such as establishing a bicameral parliament, limiting the prime minister’s tenure, expanding fundamental rights, and strengthening judicial independence. The Chief Adviser emphasized that these reforms aim to make elections more inclusive, cost-effective, and aligned with national consensus. He also noted that political parties have already reached agreement on 30 key constitutional issues through the National Consensus Commission.
