Election commissioner Abul Fazal Md Sanaullah said the commission’s main focus is on holding the national election.

The EC is preparing for the national election. Preparation of other local government elections will automatically be completed if it prepares for the national election.

The election commissioner made the remark while speaking with journalists after a meeting of the EC in Agargaon on Sunday afternoon.

Abul Fazal said a reform commission is working and it will roll out its proposals. It will take time if any amendment of law is required based on the proposals. The weather of the country is also an important aspect.

He said the commission will implement the decision taken by relevant ministries, government and all stakeholders considering all the factors involved with holding an election.

However, he said the EC thinks holding all local government elections at a time is not possible.

Abul Fazal said the EC has not yet received any request from the government regarding the local government elections.
