Magura: Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam today reaffirmed that the upcoming Jatiya Sangsad (JS) elections will be held by February 15, 2026, as per the schedule set by the interim government, despite differing views among political parties.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Shafiqul made these remarks during a visit to the ancestral home of renowned poet Farruk Ahmed in Sreepur Upazila of Magura. He emphasized that political diversity is a natural aspect of a democratic system, noting that differences of opinion among political parties are to be expected.
“There are differences of opinion among political parties, which is very natural. If there were no differences, there wouldn’t be different parties,” Shafiqul said. He reiterated the commitment to hold the elections on time, dismissing any possibility of postponement.
He also issued a strong warning against any efforts to disrupt the electoral process. “The election will take place in the first half of February, as per the commitment of the interim government. Any ill-attempt to disrupt this process will not succeed,” he asserted.
Highlighting the significance of the upcoming polls, Shafiqul described it as a “foundational election” that will shape the country’s future political course. “This election will not only determine the future of governance but will also lay the groundwork for subsequent elections and the overall political system of Bangladesh,” he said.
