Adviser Asif Mahmud clarified in a Facebook post that no decision has been made regarding appointing administrators to local government wards. The government is still considering local government elections, making any discussion about administrator appointments irrelevant at this stage. He added that the absence of elected representatives in city corporations, municipalities, district councils, and upazila councils is hindering public service delivery. He reiterated that holding elections and ensuring democratically elected representatives is the best way forward for local governance.
