BNP Chairperson Tarique Rahman announced that his party had proposed a ten-year limit for the prime minister’s tenure nearly two years before the government’s reform commission discussed similar ideas. Speaking at the BNP’s election manifesto launch on Friday, February 6, 2026, at Hotel Sonargaon in Dhaka, he said the proposal was part of the party’s 31-point reform plan and was officially documented. Rahman emphasized that if BNP forms the next government, it will introduce this limit through legal and constitutional means.
He further discussed broader constitutional reforms, including gradual changes to Article 70, which restricts lawmakers’ independence. Rahman said the party aims to make the provision more flexible over time. He also reaffirmed BNP’s commitment to restoring the caretaker government system, arguing that only a non-political interim administration can ensure free and fair elections, as seen in 1991, 1996, and 2001.
Rahman concluded that democratic practices, especially the right to vote, must be preserved under a system trusted by the people.
