BNP has decided to hold dialogue with all political parties to discuss the country’s overall political situation.
A virtual meeting of the party standing committee, the highest policymaking body, on Monday took the decision, said a press release signed by BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Tuesday.
“The meeting discussed the dialogue between the political parties and the President on the formation of the Election Commission. In the overall political context, a decision has been taken to exchange views with all political parties.”
Last week, the BNP policymakers decided not to take part in the dialogue with President Abdul Hamid as it thinks it will be a ‘pointless’ exercise.
President Abdul Hamid began dialogue with registered political parties over the formation of the new Election Commission on December 20.
The tenure of the current EC, led by KM Nurul Huda, is to expire on February 14 next year. As per the constitution, a new Commission must be formed before the expiry of the present EC.
