BNP is holding a rally at 10 AM today in front of the National Press Club, demanding immediate national elections. Former local representatives and BNP-backed candidates from previous elections are participating. They argue that some factions are pushing for local elections before national ones, a move they strongly oppose. A BNP representative claimed that the country’s law-and-order situation is deteriorating and that local elections would only empower the ruling party’s “fascist forces.” Elected officials from various levels, including Upazila chairmen, vice-chairmen, and councilors, are attending the rally.
