Tarique Rahman on Thursday met Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus in Dhaka, his first family visit to the latter's residence since returning to Bangladesh last month.

At 7:15pm, the BNP chairman's flag-bearing car entered the State Guest House Jamuna, accompanied by his wife Zubaida Rahman and daughter Zaima Rahman.

After nearly two hours inside, he drove out at 9:11pm, reports bdnews24.com.

Tarique returned home on Dec 25 after more than 17 years in exile.

He had earlier spoken to Yunus by phone upon arrival at Shahjalal International Airport and met him briefly at the funeral prayers for his mother, Khaleda Zia, on Dec 31.

The latest meeting follows a string of recent contacts between the two.

On June 13 last year, Tarique held a one-and-a-half-hour private discussion with Yunus at London's Dorchester Hotel.

Soon afterwards, National Security Adviser Khalilur Rahman Chowdhury announced that the next general election would be held in February 2026 once preparations were complete.
