The next national election will take place in February 2026 as scheduled, and there is no scope for postponement, Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam said today.

“The election will be held according to the Chief Adviser’s announcement,” he told reporters after Jumma prayers while visiting the graves of Shaheed Rabbi and Shaheed Al Amin in Magura.

Shafiqul said the entire nation is prepared for the polls, with relevant institutions already beginning their preparatory work. “Once the monsoon ends, the election atmosphere will spread across neighbourhoods. Everyone will witness the grand festival of the election,” he added.

On the matter of reforms, he said discussions with political parties on the charter of reforms were held in July, and that work is progressing on the basis of consensus. “The reform activities are visible and are proceeding at a rapid pace,” he said.
