National Citizens Party (NCP) chief organizer Sarjis Alam has accused the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) of attempting to consolidate power by delaying local government elections. Speaking at a press conference at the NCP’s temporary central office in Dhaka’s Bangla Motor on Tuesday, he said BNP leaders and the prime minister’s information adviser have indicated that local elections may be postponed until December 2027.
Sarjis claimed that there are currently no elected chairmen at the upazila level and alleged that BNP is planning to dissolve district councils. He warned that any attempt to centralize authority and suppress public rights would backfire. He further alleged that BNP has appointed defeated and unqualified leaders to administrative positions in district councils and city corporations, turning these institutions into centers of corruption and extortion.
Calling for city corporation, upazila, and municipal elections within this year, Sarjis urged the Election Commission and local government authorities to prepare accordingly. He cautioned that any delay could force opposition parties to take to the streets.
