Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam announced that the interim government will campaign in favor of the 'Yes' vote in the upcoming referendum. He stated that legal experts have confirmed there are no legal barriers to such campaigning. The announcement came during a press conference at the Foreign Service Academy in Dhaka on Sunday, where he also said the country’s law and order situation is currently stable.

According to the press secretary, the 13th national parliamentary election and the referendum are both scheduled for February 12. The referendum will include four questions, allowing voters to choose 'Yes' or 'No' responses. Shafiqul Alam also mentioned that the European Union will send a large observer team for the election, after previously abstaining from observation due to concerns about the credibility of the last three elections. He added that the current electoral environment offers a good level playing field and that no political party is receiving extra privileges.

Alam warned that social media could pose the biggest challenge during the election, as misinformation might be spread by members of the former government. However, he assured that law enforcement agencies are fully prepared to handle any situation.
