CEC dismisses polls schedule delay chance

The chief election commissioner KM Nurul Huda on Tuesday dismissed the possibility of delaying date to declare schedule for upcoming general election.

Addressing a training program on electronic voting machine for trainers at Election Training Institute in the capital, the CEC also said that polling date would be changed if political parties agreed.

On Monday, a day after election commission announced that it will declare the polls scheduled on November 8, the Jatiya Oikya Front leaders during a heated exchange urged EC not to announce schedule for the next general election until the outcome of on-going dialogue between the ruling alliance and JOF was visible.
