Dhaka, Feb. 10 -- Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) AMM Nasir Uddin has emphasised that the Election Commission (EC) is committed to maintaining neutrality and does not intend to favour or oppose any political party.
Speaking at an event organised by the Reporters Forum for Election and Democracy (RFED) at Nirbachan Bhaban in the capital, the CEC stated, "We, as members of the commission, do not want to engage in politics. We do not support or oppose any political party. We aim to remain neutral."

Highlighting the challenges faced by the EC, the CEC pointed to political control over the commission as the primary source of criticism of its role.
