Five commissioners including Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Kazi Habibul Awal have resigned from their positions.
CEC announced his resignation at a press conference at 12 noon on Thursday (September 5).
It is also known that the EC members will go to meet the President after the press conference.
The interim government was formed after the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government on August 5. Since then, there have been demands for the resignation of Kazi Habibul Awal Commission. The members of the Election Commission also think they have to leave their posts in the current situation.
Therefore, it is known from reliable sources that he has also made mental preparations for resignation.
However, they were trying to understand whether they will resign themselves, or whether the government has any plan in this regard.
It is reported that EC members have attempted to contact the President and the top levels of the interim government for advice on the matter.
In this situation, the election commission led by Kazi Habibul Awal is coming in front of the journalists today.
It should be noted that the current election commission led by Kazi Habibul Awal took oath on February 27, 2022. The term of this commission is five years. During this commission's tenure, most political parties boycotted the 12th National Parliament election held last January. Only the Awami League and their allied parties participated in that election.
