The government has extended the tenure of the National Consensus Commission (NCC) by one month, with the new deadline set for October 15, 2025.

A notification signed by Cabinet Secretary Dr. Sheikh Abdur Rashid was issued on Monday.

The seven-member commission was originally formed on February 12, 2025, under S.R.O. No. 55-Law/2025, to review and adopt recommendations from six reform commissions. The NCC officially began its work on February 15, with its initial tenure set to end on September 15.

Professor Ali Riaz serves as the NCC’s vice chairman. Other members include Abdul Muyeed Chowdhury, head of the Public Administration Reform Commission; Safar Raj Hossain, head of the Police Reform Commission; Badiul Alam Majumdar, head of the Election Reform Commission; Justice Md. Emdadul Haque, head of the Judiciary Reform Commission; and Iftekharuzzaman, head of the ACC Reform Commission.

The commission has been engaging with political parties and stakeholders to build a national consensus on reforms in public administration, police operations, elections, the judiciary, and anti-corruption measures ahead of the upcoming elections.

The extension comes into effect immediately.
