Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Kazi Habibul Awal has urged field-level officials to carry out their duties with impartiality during the upcoming parliamentary election, reports UNB.
He was speaking today as the chief guest at a program on election management.
He urged local officials to always keep in mind that they represent the government in their roles.
“Organizing election is a challenging task. Since the responsibility lies also with you, this responsibility must be fulfilled with dedication. The election must gain acceptance among the people,” the CEC remarked.
“It is essential to demonstrate to the people that the election has been conducted fairly. If we can ensure that people can freely exercise their voting rights, it will be a big success,” he further said.
Addressing the officials, Election Commissioner Ahsan Habib Khan said, “I prefer not to dwell on past criticisms. However, by learning from the past, let us collectively set an example of conducting fair elections for future generations.”
“In my opinion, you are the loyal assistants of the Election Commission at the field level, representing us. After we took oath, you have demonstrated 100 percent neutrality in the elections, cooperating sincerely with the returning officer. As a result, every election has been held without any incident of violence, in a festive atmosphere,” he added.
