BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman has arrived at the residence of National Citizen Party (NCP) Convener Nahid Islam for a courtesy visit, conveying a message of post-election political harmony and positive politics.
BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman arrived at the residence of Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Shafiqur Rahman in the Bashundhara area at 7:15 pm on Sunday.
The Jamaat-e-Islami-led 11-party alliance has alleged rigging in the vote counting of the 13th National Parliamentary Election. The alliance formally lodged a complaint with the Election Commission on Sunday, February 15. The Commission has also responded to it.
The interim government has held its final advisory council meeting. The meeting included a detailed review of the 13th National Parliamentary Election held last Thursday. The advisory council believes this will go down in history as a 'memorable election'.
The tenure of the interim government is drawing to a close. In two days, on February 17, the swearing-in ceremony of the BNP-led government will take place. With this, the responsibilities of the Chief Adviser's Press Wing members will also come to an end. After completing their duties, they have expressed interest in returning to their primary profession of journalism.
The BNP, which is on course to form the government after winning two-thirds of the seats in the 13th National Parliamentary Election, has secured nearly four crore votes—amounting to 49.97 per cent of votes cast. Jamaat-e-Islami, which has emerged as the main opposition party in second position, has received 31.76 per cent of the votes.
