BNP to meet Bangladesh CA Mohd Yunus to discuss election roadmap

Dhaka, Apr 10 (UNI) Citing its fears over a possible delay in holding national elections, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) is set to meet with the country’s Chief Advisor Mohammed Yunus on April 16, to discuss the election roadmap.
As the CA and his interim cabinet have not issued any clear directives on elections, the meeting will press for a clear and specific roadmap for the upcoming national elections, as well as resolve any confusion surrounding the polls, according to The Daily Star.
Party leaders said they will clearly state their demand for the national election to be held by December this year and seek clarity on the government's position and intentions regarding the matter, as well as discuss various other issues, including the ongoing reform process.
