Scenarios point towards a December-January election
If the interim government fails to be neutral, it cannot hold the election, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said yesterday. Then a neutral government would be needed, he said.
We must first acknowledge that the Bangladesh Constitution has failed to maintain a robust democratic system.
What needs to be done in today’s Bangladesh, as the country is trying to move forward?
Are three months enough to hold a free and fair election? Because that is not the only concern at hand.
Seven political parties, including the BNP and Jamaat, yesterday said Prof Muhammad Yunus-led interim government can take the time necessary for creating an atmosphere conducive to holding a free and fair election.
Razwan-uz- zaman Rajib of Channel 24 was elected as the new president and Samon Hossain of Dainik Manab Zamin was re-elected as general secretary of the Bangladesh Sports Press Association (BSPA) for the next two years.
The BNP will not participate in the upcoming upazila polls as per its previous decision, but it has two different thoughts on the elections.
The absence of democratic behaviour is no longer hidden under the carpet.
