Daily Report: BNP has said that it will not contest the elections. In answer to this question whether you (Election Commission) take any initiative or not, your attitude can also be questioned. Election Commissioner Alamgir Hossain said that all parties never take part in elections.
Haven’t taken it before. We have 44 parties. Not everyone will participate. Because there are many issues regarding the ability to participate in voting.
We have vowed to hold elections within 90 days before the term of the Parliament expires. Our job is to enroll the voters and register the party and when the time comes for the elections, we will conduct the elections on time.
On Monday (August 14), he said this in response to the questions of journalists at his office located in the capital’s Agargaon election building.
EC Alamgir said that the Election Commission has no right to do anything outside the Constitution.
When we took the oath, we said that we will follow the Constitution. The functions of the Election Commission are clearly stated in the constitution – presidential elections, national parliament elections, preparation of voter lists and delimitation of constituencies, and if the parliament assigns any responsibility by law.
He also said Election Commission will not go beyond the Constitution.
