Abdul Kader Siddiqui, president of the Krishak Sramik Janata League, has stated that his party will join Bangladesh’s upcoming national election only if all political parties are allowed to participate. Speaking at the Tangail District Freedom Day event on December 11, Siddiqui warned that if the election becomes a limited contest involving only the BNP and NCP, voter turnout could collapse as citizens would lose interest in a one-sided race. Siddiqui reaffirmed his lifelong allegiance to the ideals of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, emphasizing unity and democratic inclusivity. He criticized past political decisions that empowered extremist groups and urged current leaders to restore an environment where citizens can freely choose their representatives. Former minister Abdul Latif Siddiqui echoed similar concerns, saying that without a fair electoral atmosphere, public enthusiasm for voting will decline. Observers note that these remarks highlight growing skepticism about the credibility of Bangladesh’s electoral process. Calls for inclusive participation and political tolerance are likely to intensify ahead of the next general election.
