[2] Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Anisul Huq yesterday said the next Election Commission (EC) would certainly be formed through a search committee, reports UNB.
[3] “It is not possible to form EC through an act now as the tenure of the current commission would end in the February next and the corona pandemic situation is going on.
[4] So, we would form the EC through search committee,” he said while talking to newsmen after attending a function to unwrap a book titled “Swarane Sheikh Mujib: Sohosrabder Shreshtho Bangali” at University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh (ULAB) in the capital. The law minister said the prime minister in her recent press briefing has already said the new EC would be formed through search committee.
[5] “Though gazette on search committee is not any act, it is closer to an act as it was published after taking consent of all and with President’s decision,” Anisul added.
