Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said the President of the country will constitute a new election commission through a search committee.

“The President will form a search committee and the election commission will be constituted through this search committee,” she said, replying to a question at a press conference at Ganabhaban on Monday, reports UNB.

The present election commission will complete its five-year tenure in February 2022 and the next commission will arrange the 12th parliamentary election to be held at the end of 2023.
