Tarique Rahman to Register as Voter on December 27

BNP leader Tarique Rahman is expected to register as a voter on Dec 27, two days after returning to the country following 17 years in exile.

BNP Standing Committee member Salahuddin Ahmed told reporters on Monday that the party’s acting chairman would return on Dec 25 and complete his voter registration shortly afterwards.

He was speaking after a meeting with Chief Election Commissioner AMM Nasir Uddin at the Election Commission headquarters in Dhaka’s Agargaon area.

Salahuddin said election offices would be open on Saturday, allowing Tarique to complete the process, including obtaining his national identity card.
