Election Commissioner Md. Anwarul Islam has confirmed that members of the interim government’s advisory council will not be allowed to contest in the upcoming national elections or participate in any campaign activities. Speaking to reporters on December 9, he said the Election Commission (EC) has taken this position in line with the electoral code of conduct, which prohibits anyone holding a government position from engaging in electioneering. Islam noted that recent discussions had suggested some advisers might resign before the election schedule is announced to become candidates. However, he emphasized that as long as they hold government posts, they are ineligible to run. The commissioner also stated that all preparations for the election are nearly complete, including constituency delineation, appointment of returning officers, and formation of monitoring and law enforcement cells. Another commissioner, Abdur Rahmanel Masud, added that maintaining law and order before the schedule announcement is not the EC’s responsibility, but ensuring equal opportunity for all candidates will be once the schedule is declared.
