BNP Chairperson Tarique Rahman met Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus on Thursday night, January 15, 2026, at the Jamuna State Guesthouse in Dhaka. Rahman left his Gulshan office at 6:42 p.m., visited his residence briefly, and then departed for Jamuna at 6:52 p.m. Security measures were visibly tightened in the Jamuna area ahead of his arrival.

The meeting marked the first formal discussion between the two since Rahman’s return to Bangladesh on December 25, 2025, after 17 years abroad. Upon arrival, he had spoken with the Chief Adviser by phone. They had also met briefly at the funeral of late BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia on December 31. Previously, on June 13, 2024, Rahman and Yunus held a meeting in London, after which their representatives issued a joint statement.

The renewed engagement between the BNP leader and the Chief Adviser follows a series of high-level contacts since Rahman’s return, suggesting continued political dialogue at the national level.
