A referendum on the 'July National Charter'On November 11, 2025, Islamist parties in Bangladesh, led by Jamaat-e-Islami, rallied in Dhaka to demand a referendum on the 'July National Charter.' This charter emerged after the August 2024 ouster of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and outlines political reforms like term limits, anti-corruption measures, and a shift toward proportional representation in elections. The charter is currently non-binding, and the parties argue that a referendum is necessary to integrate it into the constitution. The interim government, led by Muhammad Yunus, has not yet acted on this demand. The rally highlighted ongoing tensions over the legitimacy of future elections.
