According to the organizers, the press briefing will focus on electoral reforms, transparency, and the parties’ stance on how the electoral process should be handled to ensure a fair and credible election next year.

The joint press conference reflects a growing trend among opposition parties to collaborate as the nation moves closer to the 2025 elections. The absence of UDF at the meeting will be closely watched by political observers, as the opposition works to form a unified front against the ruling party ahead of the crucial polls.
