Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam on Tuesday said Bangladesh will see a great election on February 12.
After that, he said, there would be a smooth handover of power.
"And I will return to my old ways - writing and reading, writing and reading and writing!! And guzzling enormous amounts of tea," said the Press Secretary in brief remarks shared from his verified Facebook page.
"We have a Cabinet (Council of Advisers) meeting this Thursday. Hopefully, there will be another one next week," Alam said.
He said first, the waiting days were three digits—500 days to the election. "Then they dropped to double digits: 90 days. The months slipped away. Now it’s weeks. And now the wait is down to single digits: nine days."
"In working days, it’s just five—today, Thursday, and the first three days of next week," Alam said.
