Chief Election Commissioner AMM Nasir Uddin on Tuesday said even he does not yet know the date of the upcoming general election.
“How many more times do I have to speak about the election date? I already spoke about it this morning. The fact is I don’t even know the date myself,” he said at an event organised by the Reporters Forum for Election and Democracy (RFED) at Nirbachan Bhaban in the capital.
The CEC said the election date will be informed two months ahead of the election, reports UNB.
“Please be patient a bit…wait and see…you’ll know the date at the appropriate time,” he added.
Election commissioners Abdur Rahmanel Masud, Tahmida Ahmad, Md Anwarul Islam Sarker and Brig Gen (retd) Abdul Fazal Md Sanaullah were present at the function presided over by RFED president Kazi Mead Uddin (Jebel).
