new office, BNP Secretary General Khandaker Delwar Hossain told reporters at Khaleda's newoffice.
He said, "From here the party chairperson will make preparations for the elections."
The BNP chairperson exchanged views with party leaders and activists, for about two and a half hours on her first day at the newoffice.
Former BNP lawmaker Zakaria Taller, son of late BNP leader AKM Abu Taller, owns Ilie 2,500 square feet building, sources said.
Khaleda had earlier selected Hawa Bhaban as her office before the 2001 election. Hawa Bhaban turned into an "alternative power house" during the five-year rule of the BNP-led four-party alliance.
Controversial Hawa Bhaban has been closed since the arrest of Khaleda's son Tarique Rahman on March 7 last year and also her own arrest on September 3 on corruption charges.
After her release on September 11 this year, Khaleda selected the house of former Jai Jai Din editor Shafik Rehman in the capital's Eskaton for running party activities.
Delwar said the party's Naya Paltan office gets crowded often making it difficult for the party chairperson to work there.
Organisational activities will be run from party's Naya Paltan and Gulshan offices, Delwar said.
"Party standing and executive committees will hold meeting here if needed," hesaid.
Replying to aqueiy, the BNP leader said it would be unfair to compare the party chairperson's new office with Hawa Bhaban.
BNP standing committee members RA Gani, M Shamsul Islam and Tanbir Ahmed Siddiky, party vice-president MK Anwar, adviser to the BNP chairperson Brig Gen (retd) Hannan Shah, joint secretary general Nazrul Islam Khan, office secretary Rizvi Ahmed and Selima Rahman, among others, were present
