BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has confidently stated that Tarique Rahman will surely return to Bangladesh in the near future. “Tarique Rahman will definitely come back to the country, without a doubt. He will return very soon,” he affirmed.

Commenting on the upcoming election timeline, Mirza Fakhrul said, “I have said from the beginning that the timing is not suitable for elections. The polls are scheduled in April, which coincides with the holy month of Ramadan. The fast will end, and Eid will be celebrated. A few days after Eid, the election will take place. Imagine the condition of the candidates during Ramadan… and what about the political workers? Frankly, I am worried that I will have to host iftar parties every day. This is no joke. It is a significant challenge. The campaign expenses for candidates will double, and when we call to reduce election expenses, costs actually increase during that period.”

He further added, “Most elections in Bangladesh have been held during December, November, or January. Only twice were they held at different times, and both elections were problematic.”
