Referendum law in the next 3-4 working days: Asif Nazrul

Legal advisor Professor Asif Nazrul said that the referendum law will be enacted in the next 3 to 4 working days.

He said this at a briefing held at the Foreign Service Academy in the capital on Thursday (November 20). He said that as per the announcement of the chief advisor, the referendum will be held on the day of the national elections.

The legal advisor said, we are going to enact the referendum law very quickly. We will do it this week. It will be done in the next three or four working days.

Asif Nazrul said that as per the announcement of the chief advisor, the referendum will be held on the day of the national elections. The law for this will be enacted next week.

Earlier, in his address to the nation on November 13, Chief Advisor Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus said that the government is working to organize the 13th national elections in the first half of February. He also announced that the referendum will be held on the day of the elections.

The chief advisor also said, ‘The referendum will be held on the day of the upcoming parliamentary elections. That is, the referendum will be held on the same day as the national elections in the first half of February. This will not hinder the goal of reform in any way. The elections will be more festive and affordable. Necessary laws will be formulated at an appropriate time for the referendum.’

On the day of the referendum, you will express your opinion by voting ‘yes’ or ‘no’ on only one question on these four issues.

If the majority vote in the referendum is ‘yes’, a Constitutional Reform Council will be formed with representatives elected in the upcoming parliamentary elections. These representatives will also serve as members of the National Parliament. The Council will amend the constitution within 180 working days from the date of the commencement of its first session. After the completion of the constitutional reform, an upper house will be formed within 30 working days in proportion to the number of votes received in the parliamentary elections. Its term will be until the last working day of the lower house.
