Bangla Press Desk: BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi has said that doubts still remain over whether upcoming elections will be free and fair.
Speaking to reporters on Sunday after a meeting with election commissioners, Rizvi said his party had sought clarification on the Election Commission’s (EC) preparations.
The meeting was attended by Senior Election Commissioner Abdur Rahman, Election Commissioner Md. Anowarul Islam, and a BNP delegation led by Rizvi.
“We still have doubts about free and fair elections,” Rizvi told journalists. “We asked the Commission about their preparations. Many elements within the administration are still working as collaborators and may try to create obstacles during the election. We wanted to know how the Commission plans to address this. The Commission assured us that they are making proper preparations for a fair election. Political parties may have different statements, but we have repeatedly raised the challenges of the proportional representation (PR) system.”
