Sarjis Alam, chief coordinator of the NCP's northern region, has declared that there will be no compromise on core political reforms ahead of the national election. He also reiterated the party’s firm stance on ensuring justice for political killings and issuing the long-awaited July Declaration within the promised timeframe.

“We do not want to see the interim government as weak,” said Alam. “If they portray themselves as powerless, it would be a betrayal of those who gave their lives during the uprising.” He warned that if six out of seven major political parties agree on a single reform issue and one party refuses, the government risks losing its legitimacy. “We expect the government not to forget its responsibilities,” he added.
