TIB demands removal of CEC, ECs

Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) today sought President Abdul Hamid’s intervention to remove the chief election commissioner and other commissioners of the Election Commission in order to reform the constitutional body for what the anti-graft watchdog said its various irregularities.

"There is no alternative to remove the CEC and other ECs and to reform it in a bid to stop defamatory activities in the hands of the constitutional body,” TIB Executive Director Iftekharuzzaman said today.

“It is unprecedented and embarrassing for the whole nation the way a constitutional body like the EC is giving birth of scandalous activities one after another," Iftekharuzzaman said in a statement.
