Bangladesh Awami League on Sunday proposed the Election Commission to use the electronic voting machines (EVM) in all the 300 constituencies in the next generation election.
An AL delegation, led by its general secretary Obaidul Quader, placed the proposal joining the EC’s talks at Nirbachan Bhaban in the city’s Agargaon area.
“We want EVMs from our spirit. We, on behalf of our party, want EVMs in 300 constituencies,” said Quader raising a number of his party’s proposals in the dialogue.
With the talks with AL, the Election Commission concluded its dialogue with registered political parties seeking opinions over the 12th parliamentary elections.
AL leaders Amir Hossain Amu, Matia Chowdhury, Kazi Zafarullah, Dr Muhammad Abdur Razzaque, Faruk Khan, Dr Hasan Mahmud, Shahbuddin Chippy, Abdus Sobham Golap, Biplab Barua, Dr Selim Mahmud, Shamsunnahar Chapa and Sayeem Khan were the delegation members.
Among 39 registered political parties, 28 political parties took part in the EC’s dialogue, but nine didn’t join it and the remaining two political parties sought time for this.
