NCP Blames BNP:
As Bangladesh inches closer to its 2026 general elections, political tensions have flared with the National Citizen Party (NCP) accusing the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and Jamaat-e-Islami of conspiring to delay the upcoming Bangladesh polls.
At a Sunday press conference in Dhaka, NCP Convener Nahid Islam alleged that BNP had obstructed the National Consensus Commission’s work by submitting “notes of dissent” on key reform measures. He claimed that these actions are eroding public confidence and undermining efforts to build a national consensus on electoral and constitutional reforms. “One party is obstructing reforms, while another is perhaps trying to postpone the election,” Nahid Islam said, as quoted by The Daily Star

NCP Criticizes “Unproductive Debates” on Referendum Timing
The NCP leader accused BNP and Jamaat of engaging in “unnecessary and unproductive” debates over whether the referendum should occur before the election or on the polling day.
“The real questions are which reforms will be included in the charter, their legal framework, and whether Dr. Muhammad Yunus will issue the implementation order,” Nahid said. “Once consensus is reached, the referendum can be held on election day or earlier.”
He further emphasized that the February 2026 elections should proceed as planned, urging the government to issue the implementation order for the July Charter within the month.

NCP Warns Against “Note of Cheating” by BNP
Last week, NCP Chief Coordinator Nasiruddin Patwary echoed similar concerns, accusing Jamaat and BNP of pushing the country toward uncertainty.
He warned that Jamaat’s agitation over proportional representation and BNP’s dissent on the July Charter are creating “panic and mistrust” among citizens.
“We call on Jamaat not to create panic over the referendum,” Patwary said. “BNP’s so-called note of dissent is actually a note of cheating.”
Growing Uncertainty in Bangladesh’s Political Landscape
Bangladesh’s political landscape has become increasingly volatile as factions clash over reform proposals and electoral procedures. Parties that once joined Nobel Laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus to challenge the Awami League government led by Sheikh Hasina are now divided over how reforms should be implemented.
Analysts warn that if consensus is not achieved soon, these disputes could delay the electoral process and further deepen public skepticism about the nation’s democratic future.
