We need an EC which is truly independent from all aspects; this independence does not only mean structural independence, but operational and financial independence along with individual independence of the election commissioners.

The CEC has tried to blame everything on the political culture prevailing in the country, which sounded funny. It has only convinced the rest of us that he was blaming the dance floor to hide that he didn't know how to dance.

The Election Commission asks some central leaders of ruling Awami League (AL) to issue directives to the party’s grassroots leaders and activists to refrain from committing violence and irregularities during the next phases of union parishad (UP) polls.

Jatiya Party, the main opposition in parliament, terms the ongoing Union Parishad election as “farcical” and urged the Election Commission to hold a re-election in the “controversial” UPs.

UP polls: 5 persons have been killed when BGB opened fire to stop ballot snatching after vote casting in Mathbaria upazila of Pirojpur, cops say.

Brother of an AL UP chairman candidate has been killed in clash with supporters of rival candidate during vote counting in Khaliajuri of Netrakona, cops say.
