Chief Advisor Professor Muhammad Yunus has emphasized organizing the 13th national elections to be held on February 12 in a manner that can set a standard for future elections in the country.

"The 2026 polls should be such an election that will set a standard for future elections," he said while chairing a high-level meeting on the overall law and order situation at his office in the city's Tejgaon area on Wednesday. 

Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam briefed the media about the meeting at the Foreign Service Academy here this afternoon. 

At the meeting, Prof Yunus said, "Our task is actually to assist the Election Commission (EC). This is a major challenge for the nation, which we must take on, and we must complete this huge task and establish it as a historic achievement."

He said that utmost attention must be paid so that there is no shortage of anything on election day, adding that there must be no lapses anywhere on February 12.

"Our step-by-step tests have started ahead of the elections. Starting from today, the final test will be held on February 12," the Chief Adviser said, adding that the directives of the EC are now the highest directives, and everyone must work together in accordance with the EC's instructions.
