Prime Minister’s Information and Broadcasting Adviser Dr. Zahed Ur Rahman announced that Bangladesh’s local government elections are expected to begin toward the end of this year. He said the full election process, including all phases such as union councils, could take between ten months and one year to complete. He made the remarks on Tuesday during a weekly press briefing at the Department of Information in Dhaka.
During the briefing, the adviser also discussed progress across various ministries. He clarified that the government has not decided to curtail the powers of upazila parishads, noting that members of parliament serve as advisers to these councils by law. He added that providing offices for MPs within upazila parishads does not diminish the councils’ authority.
Dr. Rahman further highlighted several government initiatives, including the ongoing bus route rationalization project in Dhaka, duty exemptions for importing electric school buses, free Wi-Fi at five airports and four railway stations, and financial aid for flood-affected farmers in the haor region.
