BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said on
Wednesday that his party will not take part in the general election
under the newly formed Election Commission.
The entire
appointment process of the chief election commissioner is
unconstitutional, unlawful and illegal, Mirza Fakhrul said in his
immediate reaction about the new EC at the party’s Nayapaltan office.
The
president has appointed former parliament secretary Kazi Rakib Uddin
Ahmed as the CEC. Cabinet Division will issue a gazette notification in
this regard later in the day.
Mirza Fakhrul said the
entire process of reforming the Election Commission and appointing the
CEC is illegal. “BNP will not accept it,” he said.
