BNP’s acting chairman Tarique Rahman will receive his National Identity (NID) card within a maximum of 24 hours and a minimum of 7–8 hours after providing his fingerprint, according to SM Humayun Kabir, Director General of the National Identity Registration Division. He made the announcement at a press conference at the Election Commission (EC) office on Saturday morning, confirming that the EC has completed all necessary preparations, including the room where Rahman will provide his biometric data. Tarique Rahman is set to be included in the voter list and collect his NID today. His daughter, Zaima Rahman, will also apply for an NID. He has already submitted his online application and will visit the EC office in Agargaon by noon to complete the remaining process. Reliable sources from the EC and BNP confirmed that his voter registration will be under Ward 19 of Dhaka-17 constituency, using a Gulshan address. The EC’s readiness indicates that Rahman’s NID issuance process will be completed swiftly once biometric verification is done.
