Not possible to hold fair polls with split EC: Fakhrul

Senior Correspondent: Claiming that there has been a rift in the election commission (EC), BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said it is not possible to hold a fair election with this split election commission.

The BNP leader made the comment while speaking at a discussion programme arranged at Segunbagicha Swadhinata Hall, organised by Jatiya Ganatantrik Party on Saturday.

Fakhrul said, “The election commission has been split into two divisions. There surfaced a disagreement within the Commission.”

“One election commissioner has announced that his proposal for a fair election is being disregarded, others are saying his opinions are contradictory with constitution,” he said.

“A split has appeared within the commission. But, there has to be one Election Commission. The crisis that has surfaced within the commission is a national crisis. So, it is not possible to hold a free and fair election with this split election commission,” he added.
