There is no scope to defer the announcement of upcoming national polls schedule, says Chief Election Commissioner Khan Mohammad Nurul Huda.
If the political parties agree, the upcoming election can be delayed, he also says.
The head of Election Commission came up with the remarks while talking to reporters after ending a workshop at Election Training Institute (ETI) in the capital’s Agargaon on Tuesday.
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.
