Tarique Rahman has called a press conference following the BNP's landslide win in the Feb 12 parliamentary election.

The briefing will take place at 3pm on Saturday at the Hotel InterContinental ballroom in Dhaka.

Party Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir confirmed the event, marking Tarique’s first media appearance since his party's decisive election victory and his homecoming after more than 17 years abroad.

Although he has appeared at multiple political events since returning, he had not held any press briefing until now.

According to the official gazette, the BNP has clinched 209 seats in the Parliament, securing an absolute majority.

The party chief won in Dhaka-17 and Bogura-6 constituencies.

Members of the party’s Standing Committee will join him for the address to discuss the move toward governance.
