The 13th National Parliamentary Election and referendum are set to begin on Thursday across Bangladesh. Advisers of the interim government will exercise their voting rights in their respective constituencies in Dhaka and other regions at different times of the day. Law Adviser Asif Nazrul will vote early at the University Laboratory School and College in Dhaka-8, while Economic Adviser Dr. Salehuddin Ahmed will cast his vote at Gulshan Model High School and College at noon. Information Adviser Syeda Rizwana Hasan will vote between 10:00 and 10:30 a.m. at Adarsha College on Central Road.

Other advisers will also vote at various centers, including Muhammad Faozul Kabir Khan at Gulshan Model School and College, Sheikh Bashiruddin at Dhanmondi Kamrunnesa Government Girls’ High School, and Brigadier General (Retd.) M Sakhawat Hossain in Mohakhali’s DOHS area. Some advisers, such as Dr. A.F.M. Khalid Hossain, will not vote due to being away from their constituencies.

The election marks a key step toward forming a new government, with advisers participating alongside citizens in what is described as a significant national voting event.
