Jamaat-e-Islami and the National Citizens' Platform (NCP) insist on key reforms and a level playing field before the upcoming national election, rejecting any vote without the July Declaration. While Jamaat denies changing its stance on election timing, both parties criticize the current administrative setup and Election Commission. They also accuse some parties, notably BNP, of obstructing reform consensus. Tensions have grown within the opposition, highlighting divisions over how and when reforms should be implemented before any credible election takes place.
