Chief Election Commissioner AMM Nasir Uddin said on Tuesday there was no discussion on the election date during a recent courtesy meeting with Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus although they talked about preparations for the upcoming national election.
“No discussion was held on the election date. You will get to know about the election date and schedule from the Election Commission (in time),” he said while replying to a question from reporters at his office in the capital.
The CEC said the Chief Adviser wanted to know whether the Election Commission was ready to hold a free, fair and credible election.
Mentioning that the Chief Adviser is very sincere about holding a neutral and credible election, Nasir Uddin said, “Our wavelength matched with his. We are on the same wavelength when it comes to ensuring a free, fair and credible election.”
On the EC’s preparations, the CEC said, “We are preparing in full gear.”
Last Thursday, the CEC met with the Chief Adviser. About the meeting, Nasir Uddin said it was a courtesy call.
