DHAKA, July 3, 2025 (BSS)- Australian High Commissioner in Bangladesh Susan Ryle today called on BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir at the party chairperson's Gulshan political office here.
BNP Standing Committee members Dr. Abdul Moyeen Khan and Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury and Organizing Secretary Shama Obaid were present during the meeting.
Following the meeting, BNP Standing Committee member Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury told journalists that there is no reason to worry about the upcoming national parliament elections.
Voters and political parties want the country to remain in a stable state and elections should be held in a disciplined manner, he said.
Regarding reforms, Khasru said BNP is the initiator of reforms. In its 2030 vision the party floated 31 points for reform. Now, moving towards elections quickly is important for the country, he said.
About the meeting with the Australian envoy, the BNP leader said it is natural that there will be discussions on election.
“It has come to light that the people of Bangladesh have not been able to exercise their right to vote in the last three-four elections. Everyone is eagerly waiting to vote. Especially the new generations, who are around 30, could not exercise their voting rights at all. People all over the country are eagerly waiting for vote,” he said.
Khasru hoped that the next election will see a good voter turnout. People will go to the polling stations with great enthusiasm.
He said discussion about the preparations for the elections was held with the Australian envoy. In this regard, Australia assured of providing assistance to the Election Commission.
Australia want a fair election in Bangladesh. Their cooperation in this regard will continue, Khasru said.
