The Election Commission (EC) has plans to introduce voter identification cards for the next parliamentary election while the chief election commissioner (CEC) said the commission's roadmap for the poll will be disclosed within two or three weeks.

In response to a High Court (HC) ruling suspending all polls for three months since Jan 29, the date of the ruling, the EC will inform a HC division bench today about its plans to introduce voter ID cards.

CEC ATM Shamsul Huda told a BNP delegation that the EC plans to inform the nation about its roadmap for the next parliamentary election, BNP Vice-chairman MK Anwar, who led the four-member delegation, told reporters after their meeting with the CEC and other two election commissioners.

The BNP delegation asked the EC to initiate steps for holding the stalled ninth parliamentary election within six months since the formation of the caretaker government on January 12.

"Our expectation is that the next parliamentary election will be held by July 11. The chief election commissioner informed us that they will inform the nation in the next two or three weeks about a roadmap for holding the parliamentary election," MK Anwar said.

The BNP delegation met the CEC three days after a high-powered Awami League delegation had met him demanding holding of the stalled ninth parliamentary election by June.

Jatiya Party led by HM Ershad is scheduled to meet the CEC on March 5 and the Communist Party of Bangladesh will meet him the next day, sources said.

Emerging from the hour long meeting, the BNP delegation chief said holding the parliamentary election as early as possible is within the EC's jurisdiction.

"We hope the reconstituted Election Commission will be able to present a free and fair election. We will extend all cooperation for a free and fair election," MK Anwar, also a former minister, said.

He said the CEC informed them about the EC's initiatives for electoral reforms.

Do not allow these two 'Begums' to gain the control of Bangladesh politics again, plus the side shifters - BJP and JEP. Let the caretaker government to keep them in the loop of current convictions as they are right now. They no longer deserve to be the leader of this nation again. They have bought and sold our nation, and used its revenue as a source to gain their personal wealth. They're parasites of our nation and should be barred from Bangladesh election. The nation has suffered enough because of them than all other natural disasters combined since the independence.

Vote for change, vote for new Bangladesh. :knight:
