Bangladesh’s Election Commission will meet the acting speaker of the Jatiya Sangsad at Parliament House at 11 a.m. Tuesday as part of preparations for a presidential election. Senior EC Secretary Akhtar Ahmed announced the meeting at a briefing in the Election Building in the capital on Monday. The chief election commissioner will discuss the election schedule and overall arrangements for holding the presidential vote.
The commission has already sent a letter to the parliamentary secretary seeking a meeting with the speaker, following established practice. The letter, signed by Ahmed, says President Md. Sahabuddin resigned on July 24. Under Article 123(2) of the Constitution, the vacant presidential post must be filled through an election completed within 90 days.
Under sections 5(2) and 5(3) of the Presidential Election Act, 1991, the election schedule must be announced through a notification in the official gazette. The EC will declare the schedule after consulting the acting speaker. Election commissioners and the EC secretariat’s senior secretary will attend with the chief election commissioner. The commission began the process after Sahabuddin resigned citing physical illness.
