BNP leader Hummam Qader Chowdhury has stated that if there is any attempt to hold elections after February or postpone them, there will be no alternative but to launch a movement. He emphasized that the weaknesses of the interim government can only be addressed through elections. "Our country does not have the current government's mandate to negotiate with foreign states," he said. He added that even the law enforcement agencies are conflicted over the decisions made by the current administration, as it lacks a proper mandate. According to him, the police should replace the army in maintaining law and order. Hummam Qader further explained that in the last two illegitimate national elections, BNP had a strategic plan. They anticipated that the Awami League would try to disqualify their candidates, so they prepared three candidates per constituency. This approach has created some grouping within the party, which he believes will be resolved through the election process.
