Bangladesh President Md. Shahabuddin has signed the implementation order for the July Charter on Thursday, November 13. The order paves the way for a national referendum to seek public approval on reform proposals finalized through dialogues between political parties and the National Consensus Commission. These proposals were incorporated into the July Charter as part of broader political reforms. Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus, in a televised address to the nation, announced that the referendum and the national parliamentary election will be held on the same day. The move is seen as a significant step toward institutionalizing political consensus and advancing democratic governance in Bangladesh.
