Holding elections under party govt is only solution: CEC

Staff Correspondent: Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) KM Nurul Huda yesterday said holding generation elections under a party government is the only solution although it is difficult to do so.
He made the remark while addressing a function titled “RFED Talk with KM Nurul Huda” arranged by Reporters Forum for Election and Democracy (RFED) at Nirbachan Bhaban here.
Nurul Huda said there is a difference between holding elections under a party government and holding elections under a military government during an emergency period.
“The Shamsul Huda Commission was lauded. The then environment…the situation was like the state of emergency. The election was held with the blessings of cantonment. However, this situation did not enable the democratic environment,” he said.
