The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has authorised Prime Minister and party chairman Tarique Rahman to select its candidate for the upcoming presidential election. The decision was made at the BNP’s National Standing Committee meeting, with leaders confirming that no names were discussed yet.
Bangladesh’s ruling BNP said future ties with India depend on a new Ganges Water Sharing Treaty aligned with Dhaka’s needs. The party urged immediate negotiations as the 1996 agreement nears expiry, while debates continue over Bangladesh’s proposed Padma Barrage project
