Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today said she wants free, fair and neutral upazila election so people can elect their representatives of their choices.
“I want uninfluenced, free, fair and neutral upazila elections. The winners of the election are welcomed. They will be winners whom people want. Awami League has come to power as the people wanted,” she said.
The premier made the remarks while replying to a series of question at a media briefing about the outcome of her recent six-day official visit to Thailand at her official Ganabhaban residence here.
She said her government has been working to make the electoral process more pro-people and transparent.
So, her government enacted law for the first time to form election commission and made the commission financially independent after bringing out it from the purview of the Prime Minister’s Office and gave separate allocation in the budget for the commission, she said.
Sheikh Hasina said they did all things to make the election free and fair as the people can exercise their voting rights as per their choices.
She said her government has held the 12th parliamentary election on January 7, 2024 in the freest, fairest and most neutral manner in comparison of other elections in Bangladesh history after 1975 changeover.বিস্তারিত
