Election Commission Secretary Md Jahangir Alam said the commission's core activities will start after the announcement of the election schedule, and an interim government will be established during this period. In this process, the commission will hold meeting with law enforcement, inter-ministerial discussions, and consultations with registered political parties. Subsequently, the commission will convene a meeting to finalise potential election dates, appoint returning officers and assistant returning officers, and address other matters. In addition to pre-schedule preparations, 44 registered parties have been invited to the EC in two phases on Nov 4 to gather feedback," said Jahangir. However, the BNP and like-minded parties, along with some leftist groups, have not responded to the Election Commission's call for dialogue.
