EC 100% Ready for 13th Parliamentary Election: Akhtar Ahmed

The Election Commission (EC) is fully prepared to hold the upcoming 13th National Parliamentary Election and a referendum, according to Akhtar Ahmed, Senior Secretary of the EC Secretariat.

Ahmed made this announcement while speaking at a training workshop organized for journalists on the national election. The workshop was a joint effort held at the Election Training Institute (ETI) in Agargaon, with support from the UNDP and the Reporters Forum for Election and Democracy (RFED).

Regarding the official election schedule announcement, the EC Secretary stated that a specific date has not yet been fixed.
