Ruling BNP has called a meeting of its standing committee, the party’s highest policymaking forum, for Saturday, August 1. BNP media cell member Shayrul Kabir Khan confirmed the development on Wednesday. The meeting will be held at the chairman’s political office in Gulshan, and committee members have been informed.

Khan said he had not yet received any instruction regarding the meeting’s formal agenda. As a result, the party has not specified which organisational or political matters will be officially taken up during the session. The report does not identify the expected participants or provide details of any planned announcement after the meeting.

Asked about possible agenda items, Khan said it was believed that the presidency issue could be discussed at Saturday’s meeting. The matter was presented as a possibility rather than a confirmed agenda item, with no final instruction reported. No further details were provided about the scope of a potential discussion or any decision the standing committee may make.
