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.
However, the United Democratic Front (UDF) is notably absent from the list of participants. Despite earlier speculation that UDF would join the conference, the party has not made an appearance, raising questions about its position on the electoral issues that will be discussed.
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.
Stay tuned for updates from the press conference as these key political parties outline their strategies and concerns regarding the electoral process.
