The Election Commission (EC) assures full support to BNP if the party seeks assistance for participating in the upcoming national elections.
Election Commissioner Md Alamgir came up with the remarks while talking to reporters at the EC headquarters on Sunday.
"If the BNP wants to join the JS polls and seeks any assistance, we will certainly facilitate that. However, our role does not involve controlling any political party. We are committed to supporting all participants in the elections, but those choosing not to participate are beyond our influence," he said
The election commissioner stated that action would be taken upon receiving a specific and substantiated complaint against the police administration.
Talking about election atmosphere in the country, EC member Alamgir mentioned, "It's typical for the ruling party to complain about the opposition, and vice versa. This has been a consistent pattern I have observed since 1970."
The Election Commission has revealed that 10 parties, including the ruling party, have united and confirmed their participation in the upcoming parliamentary elections.
However, the BNP and some other parties have not yet confirmed their participation.
On the other hand, various parties keen on joining the elections have initiated the process of selling nomination forms to finalise their candidates.
