President Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has summoned the fourth session of the 13th National Parliament to convene on 9 November, with proceedings due to begin at 3:30 pm at the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban in Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka.

The announcement was made in a notification issued on Wednesday by the Legislative Branch-1 of the Parliament Secretariat and signed by Parliament Secretariat Secretary Barrister Md Golam Sarwar Bhuiyan. According to the notification, the session will begin at 3:30 pm on Monday, 9 November 2026, corresponding to 24 Kartik 1433 in the Bengali calendar. Furthermore, the proclamation, issued under the president’s authority in accordance with Article 72(1) of the Constitution, has been sent to the government press for publication in an extra edition of the Bangladesh Gazette.

The forthcoming session will mark the resumption of parliamentary business following the third session, which opened on 27 August and concluded at 8:24 pm on 10 September. Consequently, the president’s summons, issued after the previous session ended, paves the way for lawmakers to return to the chamber.
