The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) is in the final stage of preparing its manifesto for the upcoming 13th parliamentary election. Party sources said the document will serve not only as an electoral pledge but also as a comprehensive framework for state reconstruction, economic recovery, and human resource transformation. The manifesto emphasizes youth employment, an investment-friendly environment, and empowering young people as key drivers of national development. It is being prepared based on four pillars: Ziaur Rahman’s 19 points, Khaleda Zia’s Vision 2030, Tarique Rahman’s 31 points, and the July National Charter.

The manifesto includes a dedicated section titled “Outline for Youth,” promising one crore new jobs within 18 months of assuming power and unemployment benefits for educated job seekers. It also pledges SME financing, startup funds, IT and outsourcing training, and initiatives to attract domestic and foreign investment. Other commitments cover democratic reforms, agricultural modernization, women’s empowerment, minority protection, and universal healthcare.

BNP plans to distribute concise leaflets summarizing key points before the official manifesto launch, which will take place at a major event after the campaign begins.
