CEC reluctant to quit
The council of advisors of caretaker government in its first weekly meeting Monday will consider alternative options for reforming the Election Commission as CEC Justice MA Aziz is determined to hold on to his office, reports UNB.
"We will consider alternative options," Finance Adviser Dr Akbar Ali Khan told reporters at his office Sunday about the next step of the interim government to recast the Election Commission-a strong demand from a major political camp and some civil-society groups.
Asked if the government could appoint more election commissioners to bring about a balance, he would neither admit nor reject the option. "We will consider it in the Council of Advisors meeting tomorrow".
Khan said different quarters, including the Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD), came up with various suggestions and the Caretaker Government would take those into consideration in today''s meeting.
