BNP leader Zainul Abdin Farroque questioned the interim government's delay in holding national elections, arguing that Nobel laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus could conduct elections within three months. “Why is it taking more than nine?” he asked. He warned against any attempt to sideline the BNP and claimed that such moves would be resisted by the party's grassroots supporters. Farroque also accused the interim government of obsessing over BNP criticism instead of focusing on electoral reform.
