CEC seeks help for holding free and fair election

Chief Election Commissioner AMM Nasir Uddin has sought cooperation from political parties to create a safe environment for voters during the national election.

While speaking at a discussion with six registered political parties at Nirbachan Bhaban on Sunday, he said, ”The Election Commission cannot complete this big task alone. We need your support in bringing voters to the polling stations and creating a safe environment.”

The CEC said the Election Commission has already formulated a code of conduct for the upcoming election. “A fair election largely depends on the proper implementation of the code of conduct. If candidates comply with it properly, the election will be fair. In this regard, we seek your cooperation.”

Nasir Uddin said the Commission’s main objective is to hold the next election in a fair, acceptable environment. “To achieve this, we need your cooperation.”

The six political parties that joined the talks are Gonoforum, Gono Front, Islamic Front Bangladesh, Islami Oikyajote, Bangladesh Supreme Party (BSP) and Bangladesh Jatiya Party.
