BNP senior leader Ruhul Kabir Rizvi today alleged that new Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Kazi Habibul Awal is a staunch supporter of the Awami League.
“The Awami government has again formed the so-called Election Commission with its loyalists and partisan bureaucrats, who were tested in the Awami Laboratory, only to stay in power without voting,” he said.
Speaking at a press conference at BNP’s Nayapaltan central office, Rizvi also said extremely ‘controversial’ former bureaucrat Kazi Habibul Awal is also a very favourite person of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, reports UNB.
“He considered Kazi Habibul Awal in every case whenever it came to giving appointment to any constitutional post since he is a staunch Awami Leaguer. His entire family is involved in Awami-Baksali politics,” he added.
Though BNP earlier said it had no interest in the new Election Commission (EC), the party came up with the allegations a day after the CEC and four other Commissioners had been sworn in.
