BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman is set to announce the party’s election manifesto for the 13th parliamentary election on Friday.
BNP media cell member Sayrul Kabir Khan said the manifesto will be unveiled at 3:30pm at Sonargaon Hotel in the capital.
He said BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir will preside over the programme, while standing committee member and central election steering committee chairman Nazrul Islam Khan will conduct it.
Diplomats, intellectuals, noted citizens and prominent figures from various professional groups have been invited to the event.
Tarique Rahman is leading the BNP in the current parliamentary election, marking the first time he will formally present the party’s election manifesto.
In the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth parliamentary elections, the party was led by his mother and then BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, who announced the manifestos on those occasions.
Although the BNP-led Jatiya Oikya Front took part in the 11th parliamentary election in 2018, Khaleda Zia was in jail at the time, and the manifesto was announced on December 18 that year by Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir at Lakeshore Hotel.
