Govt starts election journey, search committee for EC formed: Asif Nazrul

Law Adviser Prof Dr Asif Nazrul said the interim government has started its journey towards holding the next general election.
“The search committee for constituting a new Election Commission has been formed. You will know about the circular after the chief adviser signs it,” he said while replying to reporters’ queries at Secretariat.
“It was sent to the chief adviser’s office and I am not aware of today’s update,” he added.
Asked about the members of the search committee, Asif Nazrul said the committee was formed as per the existing laws.
“After the formation of the search committee, the Election Commission will be constituted. Then, the voter list will be updated as there were a lot of questions about the voter lists,” he added.
“The people of the county had no interest in the voter list as the previous elections was fake ones. This time, we will hold an extraordinary free and fair election,” Asif Nazrul said.
