Election Commissioner Anwarul Islam Sarkar stated on Sunday that the Election Commission (EC) will decide on any vote recount only if directed by the court. Speaking to journalists, he clarified that the commission did not rush in publishing the election gazette and that all procedures were carried out within the legal framework. He emphasized that the gazette was released at the appropriate time.

Anwarul Islam described the issue of reconsidering the results of the 11-party alliance as irrelevant, noting that any complainant has the right to seek legal remedy. He asserted that the commission successfully conducted a fair, transparent, and neutral election, achieving results that exceeded expectations.

He also mentioned that the EC has not yet made a decision regarding the Sherpur-3 constituency, indicating that further steps may depend on future legal or procedural developments.
