New CEC holding meeting with Election Commission



Dhaka, Dec 02 - The newly formed Election Commission (EC), headed by Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) AMM Nasir Uddin, has sat for its first meeting.

The meeting began at 11am at room No-314 of the Bhaban, said EC sources.

All the commissioners -- Md Anwarul Islam Sarker, Abdur Rahmanel Masud, Begum Tahmida Ahmad and Brigadier General (retd) Abul Fazal Md Sanaullah – are there in the meeting.

The interim government formed the EC on November 21, making former secretary Nasir Uddin as the CEC.

On September 5, the previous EC, led by Kazi Habibul Awal, stepped down from the post amid severe criticism for their controversial roles in holding elections, including the 2024-national election.-UNB
