Zia party supporters demand poll by Dec

Former Bangladesh PM Khaleda Zia’s Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) intensified pressure on the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government on Wednesday as tens of thousands of youths staged a massive rally demanding elections by December.

“The national election must be held by December. Preparations must begin immediately,” BNP’s acting chairman Tarique Rahman said as he joined the rally through a virtual platform from London, where he currently lives.
