Dhaka, Feb. 18 -- The Election Commission will hold by-elections to two parliamentary seats - Bogura-6 and Sherpur-3- soon after Ramadan.

"We don't want any election in (the month of) Ramandan. We'll arrange by-elections to the vacant parliamentary seats soon after the Eid-ul Fitr," Election Commissioner Abdur Rahmanel Masud told UNB on Wednesday.
