The Election Commission (EC) confirmed the schedule on Tuesday, noting that the speech will be recorded this evening. The address is set to be broadcast on Wednesday across all major media outlets, including Bangladesh Television (BTV) and Bangladesh Betar.

Sources within the EC indicate the speech will focus on Encouraging citizens to cast their ballots without fear. Outlining the role of the joint forces currently deployed nationwide. Highlighting measures taken to ensure a fair and credible electoral process.

This Thursday, February 12, marks a significant milestone as Bangladeshis will participate in both the parliamentary elections and a national referendum. The referendum seeks public mandate on the implementation of the aspirations stemming from the July Revolution.
