DHAKA: In a growing political dispute ahead of next year’s election in Bangladesh, the National Citizen Party (NCP) accused a section within the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus of attempting to sabotage the February 2026 polls, local media reported.
Addressing a press conference in Dhaka on Monday evening, the NCP leaders alleged that the interim government has shifted the responsibility for implementing the July Charter, including the referendum, onto political parties instead of taking the initiative, a move they described as “unrealistic.”
"We see a tendency to derail both the reform process and the election, ” Bangladeshi media outlet BSS quoted NCP member secretary Akhtar Hossain as saying during the press briefing.
