Bangladesh's Election Commission launched stakeholder consultations Sunday morning for the February 2026 general election. Chief Election Commissioner AMM Nasir Uddin led the first session with civil society members at Nirbachan Bhaban in Dhaka at 10:40 AM. Four other election commissioners joined the meeting, which was streamed live on the commission's social media platforms. Additional talks with educators were scheduled for later that day.
The commission had previously announced these discussions would begin in late September and finish within six weeks. Saturday, Nasir Uddin acknowledged the election body confronts major obstacles while preparing for the upcoming vote. He promised officials would receive only lawful directions and stressed neutrality toward all political parties. The country experiences growing political tensions as former allies who helped remove the Awami League government clash over proposed reforms.
