Bangladesh’s political parties have reached a broad agreement to implement the “July National Charter 2025” through a national referendum, but they remain divided over when it should be held. The BNP proposes holding the referendum alongside the upcoming parliamentary election, while Jamaat-e-Islami wants it in November, followed by a February election based on the charter. The Consensus Commission has concluded its talks with the parties without reaching any decision and will submit its recommendations to the government by tomorrow. The charter includes 84 reform proposals, requiring executive orders, presidential ordinances, and constitutional amendments. Political analyst Ali Riaz emphasized ensuring voters understand dissenting views before approving the charter. BNP seeks a quick resolution for legal legitimacy, while Jamaat warns that combining the election and referendum could undermine credibility. The final decision on timing now rests with the government.

Unity Stalled Over Timing of Referendum

Political parties have agreed to implement the “July National Charter 2025” through a referendum, but they remain divided over its timing. The disagreement persisted until the final day of talks. The BNP wants the referendum to be held on the same day as the national parliamentary election, while Jamaat-e-Islami proposes holding the referendum in November, with the national election following in February based on the charter’s outcomes. As a result, discussions between the Consensus Commission and the political parties ended without any agreement.
