‘Election timing will be determined under the leadership of CA’

Law Adviser Asif Nazrul said that elections are highly important policy decisions. Its timing will be determined under the leadership of the Chief Adviser. Only he has the authority to declare the date.

He made the opinion through his verified Facebook page on Saturday morning (October 19).

Asif Nazrul, wrote recently in a TV discussion I said the election might be possible next year, but there are several factors at play. 

"I didn't have the opportunity to fully explain these factors during the programme. However, from the government's stance, it's clear that reforms and political consensus are being discussed as prerequisites for the election. These are the factors I was referring to."

The law adviser also elaborated some key factors, such as the formation of the search committee and the Election Commission, as well as the preparation of the voter list. If these aspects are properly addressed, an election may indeed take place next year. 

“I also said that this is my initial assessment”, he added.
