National Citizen Party (NCP) Convener Nahid Islam today reiterated the party's call for the reconstitution of the Election Commission.
"For a free and fair election, it is necessary to reconstitute the Election Commission at this moment," Nahid told journalists this evening after a meeting with Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus at the state guest house Jamuna.
Nahid said, "We have expressed our concerns to the chief adviser about the behaviour of the Election Commission. The current commission is not acting neutrally -- it is showing bias towards certain political parties."
He said, "The Election Commission was formed under the law of the previous government. It is taking an ambiguous stance on allocating the 'water lily' symbol to our party. Without any clear legal basis, they are expressing reluctance to grant the symbol. This cannot be the conduct of an impartial Election Commission."
