‘EC alone can’t ensure fair polls’

City Desk:

Head of the Election System Reform Commission Dr Badiul Alam Majumdar on Saturday said the Election Commission (EC) alone cannot ensure a free and fair national election without support from the government.

“If political parties indulge in muscle power and money games, a good election will not be possible,” he said while speaking at a shadow parliament debate in the capital.

The debate titled ‘The Role of the election commission is Key to ensuring a fair national election’ was organised by Debate for Democracy with its chairman Hasan Ahmed Chowdhury Kiron in the chair, reports UNB.
