BNP won’t participate in upazila elections



Dhaka, Apr 16 - The BNP has decided not to participate in the upcoming upazila elections saying that Sheikh Hasina government and her subservient Election Commission, civil and police administration cannot organize a free, fair, participatory and acceptable election.

The environment for holding free, fair and participatory polls is not visible..

BNP took the decision in a standing committee meeting on Monday night. Party’s acting chairman Tarique Rahman virtually joined the meeting.

BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi sent a press release to media over the meeting.

Monday was anyway the last day for nomination submission of the first phase of forthcoming sixth upazila parishad election.-UNB
