BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman will deliver an election address to the nation on Bangladesh Television (BTV) on February 9 (Monday) ahead of the national election for February 12. The EC letter said that creating a fair, free and acceptable electoral environment is of utmost importance for holding a credible election. Ensuring equal opportunity for all candidates and political parties in election campaigning on BTV is a key component of such an environment. According to the EC, slot allocations must be made following the Section 6(g) of the National Parliamentary Election Code of Conduct, 2025, and on a first-come, first-served basis. No other political party has so far applied for allocating a slot for election campaigning on BTV, said the EC officials.
