Chief Election Commissioner Kazi Habibul Awal on Friday said the Election Commission (EC) is eager to hold any election with cooperation from all parties.
“Our duty is to conduct elections in accordance with the law and the constitution,” he told reporters at the Chattogram Regional Election Office in the afternoon.
Whether it is a national election or a local government election, the EC’s responsibility is to ensure that all parties participate in the elections in the light of the law, the CEC added.
“We hope the next national election will be participatory.”
About Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), he said, “We still don’t understand EVMs. We will talk about this later.”
Regional Election Officer Mohammad Hasanuzzaman, Senior District Election Officer Jahangir Hossain and Additional District Election Officer Kamrul Islam were present at the event.
The CEC came to Chattogram on a four-day visit. He will start for his own home in Swandwip on Saturday morning.
On Sunday, he will attend the smart card distribution ceremony there at 11 am. He will leave for Dhaka after returning to Chattogram from Sandwip on Monday.
