Dhaka, May 29 -- The path forward for BNP leader Ishraque Hossain will be decided after the Supreme Court verdict is reviewed, Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) AMM Nasir Uddin has said as legal questions loom over his mayoral oath.

He spoke on Thursday evening following a nearly three-hour meeting with the four election commissioners at the Nirbachan Bhaban, or Election Building, in Dhaka's Agargaon.

"You cannot make decisions based on media headlines," he added.

The term of the current Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) expires on Jun 1.
