Bangladesh’s July Reform Charter has triggered political deadlock as major parties clash over its content and timing. Initial support has faded with talks at the National Consensus Commission slowing sharply. While proposals to strengthen the Election Commission are widely backed others like judicial and parliamentary changes remain divisive. Senior Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) leaders insists February elections must proceed without delay urging reforms after the vote.

 

 

Meanwhile, Jamaat e Islami and its allies demand reforms first warning of renewed unrest if ignored and plan rallies in Dhaka on September 18 and nationwide on September 26. Bangladesh’s Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus stressed unity saying consensus is vital. Observers warn the impasse may erode public trust and deepen uncertainty in Bangladesh’s fragile democratic transition.
