Election Commissioner Md Shah Nawaz on Monday hoped that political parties will soon reach a consensus over the format of the election-time government. The politicians will finally fix the framework of the government to oversee the next general election, he told reporters at his EC secretariat office.
“The commission will try to create a level-playing field for all in the election under any type of government system. We have the scope to do that,” Shah Nawaz said. “We’ll prepare the election code of conduct following the polls-time government and ensure a level-playing field for all,” he said in reply to a query.
In response to another question, Shah Nawaz said neither people nor the government has any scope to go beyond the constitution. The commission is now preparing for holding the national election as it will be held between October 27 and January 24 in line with the constitution. Replying to another query, Shah Nawaz said, “We’ll hold the election following the constitution, not at the government’s dictate or anyone else.” – UNB
