Bangladesh’s President has issued the 'Referendum Ordinance, 2025' following approval from the Advisory Council, with the official gazette published by the Ministry of Law’s Legislative and Parliamentary Affairs Division on November 25. The ordinance outlines that citizens will vote 'yes' or 'no' on whether they support the implementation of the July National Charter (Constitutional Reform) Order, 2025, and its related proposals. Key reforms include establishing a bicameral parliament, forming a 100-member upper house based on proportional votes, and requiring its majority approval for constitutional amendments. The charter also proposes increasing women’s representation, appointing the deputy speaker and committee chairs from the opposition, ensuring judicial independence, and defining the powers of the prime minister and president. Political parties winning the next national election will be obligated to implement these reforms. The referendum will be held at the same polling centers as the upcoming 13th national parliamentary election.
