NCP convener Nahid Islam refuted allegations that his party is involved in delaying the elections. In an interview, he stated that after Sheikh Hasina’s removal from power, Bangladesh continues to struggle with law and order issues, making it difficult to organize elections under the current circumstances. He criticized political parties for their lack of commitment to reforms and the people’s uprising. Emphasizing NCP’s goal to emerge as a positive force, he expressed hope for maintaining the party’s strength for a century. “No one anticipated an uprising, but I sincerely hope and believe that we are on the path to victory,” Nahid added.
