No compromise over fair polls
Chief Election Commissioner KM Nurul Huda said that he would not compromise with anyone for the sake of arranging the next general election in a democratic manner.
“We are determined to arrange the upcoming national polls in line with democratic norms and electoral code of conduct. We will not compromise with anyone under any circumstances,” Huda said while addressing a function at Mymensingh town yesterday noon.
The CEC underscored the need for a collective effort from people from all walks of life for holding the next general election in a free, fair and inclusive manner.
“The Election Commission cannot arrange a successful election alone. We will be able to do so if cooperation is given from all quarters,” he added.
The CEC was in Mymensingh to inaugurate the voter list updating campaign held at the Advocate Tarique Memorial Auditorium.
He also called upon the grassroots level officials engaged in voter list updating activities to carry out their duties sincerely and honestly so that they can prepare an accurate voter list ahead of the 11th parliamentary election.
“We will not accept any mistake or negligence in preparing an accurate and acceptable voter list. We will take tough action if anyone's negligence is found in this regard,” the CEC warned.
