Speaking to reporters, he characterized the day as a "day of joy" that the nation had anticipated for eighteen months. "The environment across the country is peaceful. I urge all voters to head to the polling stations without fear and exercise their rights," the General stated, adding that he had received reports of orderly voting from across the country.

Navy Chief on Justice and Governance Navy Chief Admiral M. Nazmul Hasan exercised his franchise at Baridhara Scholars International School and College. He expressed hope that the incoming government would prioritize justice and avoid the "wrong paths of the past." Admiral Hasan emphasized the public's desire for a corruption-free administration and urged the new government to meet the high expectations of the people.
