Dhaka: Bangladesh's top electoral body Thursday unveiled a roadmap for general election to be held in Feb next year, saying the poll schedule would be announced at least 60 days before the voting date.
"The chief adviser's office has asked us to hold the election before Ramzan. If I am not mistaken, Ramzan will begin on Feb 17 or 18. From this, you can calculate the probable election date," election commission's senior secretary Akhtar Ahmed said.
He said under the roadmap, discussions with political parties and other stakeholders would be held by the end of Sept and "it may take one to one and a half months" to complete the process. The roadmap expected that the EC could announce the schedule in the second or third week of Dec. The student-led National Citizen Party said roadmap suggested interim govt's "breach of promise". PTI
