The National Consensus Commission is set to hold talks with the National Citizen Party (NCP) on Saturday morning as part of the series of dialogues with political parties to reach a national consensus over the state reform initiatives taken by the interim government, reports UNB.
The discussion will start at 10:30am at the LD Hall of the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban in the capital, said Public Relation Officer of the Consensus Commission Paban Chowdhury on Friday.
Earlier on March 24, NCP submitted its written opinions over the reform recommendations to the National Consensus Commission.
Out of the 166 reform recommendations made by the Consensus Commission, the NCP agreed to 113 recommendations and agreed partially to 29 others.
On March 20 last, the National Consensus Commission opened its dialogues with political parties aiming to build a national consensus on the reform initiatives undertaken by the interim government. The commission has already held talks with 12 political parties.
The National Consensus Commission, formed under the leadership of Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus, aims to establish a unified stance on critical reforms. Since its inception on February 15, 2025, the commission has been working to finalise recommendations for the state reform proposals.
In the initial phase, key recommendations from five reform commissions — covering constitutional, public administration, electoral system, judiciary, and anti-corruption reforms — were compiled and shared with 39 political parties for their feedback. To date, 34 parties have responded.
The National Consensus Commission is working to build national consensus over reform initiatives by mid-July next, by completing the first round of talks with political parties by the first week of May next and entering the second round of talks in the second week of May.
