The National Citizen Party has decided not to attend today’s much-awaited July National Charter signing ceremony, let alone sign the document containing reforms agreed upon after months of intense talks.

By failing to specify the path of implementation, the July Charter has placed Bangladesh in a precarious position.

Uncertainty continues to loom over the signing of the July Charter, with parties still divided on its implementation and the timing of the proposed referendum -- even as the scheduled signing ceremony is just two days away.

Meeting began at 6:25pm

The National Consensus Commission yesterday sent the final version of the July Charter to political parties, seeking their firm commitment to its full implementation.

The National Consensus Commission will submit its recommendations on implementing the July Charter after its signing on October 17, as it has yet to finalise the implementation process, commission sources said.

If the referendum is held on election day, voters will cast a separate ballot to answer "Yes" or "No" on whether they support the charter.

The National Consensus Commission is considering recommending multiple pathways to the government for implementing the constitutional matters in the July Charter.

The BNP has rejected the new proposal, warning that it could create “constitutional disorder.”
