Dhaka: Data protection and local government amendments draw most interest. The issue also drew wide reaction on social media. Many young voters wrote that they want to see concrete action plans rather than promises.

Debate over the upcoming session has intensified in political circles. The main political parties issued statements and held press conferences throughout the day setting out their positions.

Party sources said an extended meeting of the central committee has been called for next week to discuss organisational activities, grassroots feedback and upcoming programmes.

Representatives of election observer groups said all sides must act responsibly to keep the environment participatory and peaceful. They also stressed the media's role in raising voter awareness.
