, April 5 -- As the Chief Adviser's recent address to the nation lacked a clear election roadmap, the BNP is considering renewed street protests along with its allies to press for a national election by December next.

Speaking to UNB, several BNP policymakers said the party's leaders and activists are preparing to organise nationwide rallies and public gatherings from mid-April to May, demanding the restoration of democracy and the people's voting rights by holding elections as soon as possible.

They also revealed plans to hold a large-scale public rally in Dhaka, where they intend to set a deadline for the government to announce the election date.
