5 city polls a trial for the national polls: EC secretary
The Election Commission has taken the five city corporation elections as a trial ahead of the upcoming national elections, EC Secretary Md Jahangir Alam said yesterday.
"If the fair elections are held (in five cities), the countrymen, political parties and the world people will have a special feeling about the upcoming national elections. So, the EC has taken the five city corporation elections as a trial," he said.
Highlighting a number of measures taken by the EC to make the city polls free and fair, Jahangir, however, sought everyone's cooperation for the elections.
He said this while exchanging views with the presiding officers of Gazipur City Corporation elections at the Bangataj Auditorium in Gazipur city this noon, reports our local correspondent.
