Download PDF Candidates in the local elections who use their political identity during campaign would lose their candidacies, Election Commissioner Brig Gen (retd) M Sakhawat Hossain yesterday said.
He told this at a view-exchange meeting with election officials at Government Devendra College auditorium in Manikganj.
According to Article 66 of the constitution, local-government polls should be held before the general election, he said adding that the constitutional requirement was not followed in the past.
The present Election Commission would apply the article properly, he said.
Sakhawat said presiding officials would count the votes at vote centres in presence of the candidates’ agents and would give them certified copies of the results.
One copy of the results would have to be hung on the wall of the vote centre so people could view them, he said.
