Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) A M M Nasir Uddin has identified combating misinformation and disinformation as the most critical challenge for the upcoming national election in Bangladesh. Speaking at a dialogue with registered political parties at the Election Commission headquarters in Agargaon, Dhaka, he emphasized the need for political parties to cooperate in maintaining the electoral code of conduct. The CEC noted that misinformation has become a major concern that previous commissions did not face. Representatives from several political parties, including NAP, Khelafat Majlish, Islami Andolan, Bangladesh JASAD, and Ganofront, attended the dialogue. They raised issues such as the timing of consultations, the need for army deployment during elections, the importance of ensuring neutrality, and the separation of referendum and election dates. The CEC reiterated that the commission must remain impartial and cannot favor any party, urging all stakeholders to help ensure a fair and peaceful election process.
