Dhaka, July 1 -- Former chief election commissioner (CEC) KM Nurul Huda is giving a statement before a Dhaka court in a case that accuses him of sedition and completing general election without the public vote.

He was brought before the court on Tuesday, after two rounds of questioning totalling eight days.

The Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) Inspector Syed Sajedur Rahman, the case's investigating officer, submitted a plea to record Huda's confession, saying he had agreed to speak "voluntarily".

Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Ziadur Rahman is recording the statement, said Sub-Inspector Rafiqul Islam of the prosecution division of the Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station.
