The senior BNP leader also underlined the broader significance of a fair election in restoring fundamental rights.
He remarked, “This election is not just about the right to vote; it is about restoring the people’s rights to speak freely, live securely, and ensuring media freedom.
These rights are intrinsically linked to the upcoming free and impartial election.”
The formation of the new Election Commission has raised hopes for political stability, with stakeholders across the spectrum calling for transparency and fairness in the electoral process.
