After rejoining the National Consensus Commission discussions, BNP leader Salahuddin Ahmed reaffirmed the party’s commitment to preventing any return to autocracy or fascism. He warned that weakening the executive could destabilize governance but welcomed the adoption of BNP's proposal to cap the prime minister’s tenure at 10 years. He also advocated for an independent search committee for the Election Commission, comprising representatives from the government, opposition, and judiciary. Professor Dr. Ali Riaz expressed optimism that the consensus process could be completed within three days.
