Khaleda proposes for search committee for forming EC

Bangladesh Nationalist Party chairperson Khaleda Zia on Friday in her proposal regarding the formation of new Election Commission demanded appointment of honest, skilled and politically neutral person as election commissioner.  ‘Before forming the election commission a search committee should be formed comprising former judges, secretaries and scholars,’ she said. ‘The EC should be formed in consultation with all political parties that represented the parliament since independence,’ she said.  Talking to the reporters at a press conference at city’s Westin hotel, the BNP chief said the fresh Election Commission should have its own independent secretariat which would be neutral and have its financial liberty.
