Bangladesh's Election Commission will continue consultations with a dozen registered political organizations as part of preparations for parliamentary polls expected in early February. Discussions will include Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and 11 other parties across morning and afternoon sessions, according to assistant director Asadul Haque.
The commission has already met with 24 of the country's 53 registered political groups during initial consultation rounds. Authorities have not scheduled talks with BNP, while Awami League remains excluded due to its suspended registration status. Three recently recognized parties, including NCP, will participate in the process.
Officials aim to complete all party discussions before releasing the election timetable in December. Earlier sessions included representatives from civil society, educators, journalists, and election monitoring organizations.
