Thakurgaon-1 by-election being held with the same importance as the national election: CEC

The CEC said these things while speaking to journalists after inspecting the law and order coordination cell for the Thakurgaon-1 by-election at the Election Building in Agargaon in the capital on Thursday morning.

He said the Election Commission believes in transparency. Like the national election, all relevant forces and agencies, including the police, administration, and BGB, have been deployed on duty in this by-election. The entire election process is being monitored centrally.

Regarding the allegations of the 11-party alliance, the CEC said the allegations raised by the alliance have been resolved. Complaints, including violations of the election code of conduct, have been considered seriously, and initiatives have been taken to dispose of them immediately.

Expressing hope to build a festive election environment by moving away from the culture of conflict in the country, he said the Election Commission wants to establish a joyful election culture by avoiding conflict and a shameful culture.
