EC's role
Acting chief election commissioner had done well to book a group of election code violators that had created a healthy atmosphere to conduct the Gazipur 2 by-election. The election also proved that should the public servants play a non-partisan role in an election, and army deployed, fair election is still possible in Bangladesh. The immediate past by-election that the EC had conducted was Dhaka 10, which was just opposite of the Gazipur 2 by- election.
The public outrage at the Dhaka 10 by-election was evident from the letters published in the newspapers.
