The National Citizen Party (NCP) has urged chief adviser Muhammad Yunus to declare all elections held during Sheikh Hasina's tenure as illegal, labelling them as products of a fascist regime that denied people their voting rights, reports BSS.
"The elections held during her rule were controversial and widely rejected by opposition parties. Taking these elections to court now is leading to a state of instability. To avoid further chaos, it is necessary to declare those past elections legally void," NCP leader Nahid told reporters in front of the State Guest House Jamuna after a meeting with the chief adviser.
"Sheikh Hasina conducted elections under a fascist regime that denied people their voting rights," Nahid reiterated.
He also called for a complete reformation of the Election Commission, expressing the party's lack of confidence in the current body.
He urged the interim government to prioritise local government elections.
"The NCP has no trust in the current Election Commission. We have informed the chief adviser that holding local government elections should be the immediate focus," he added.
Nahid further called on the chief adviser to jointly announce a roadmap for the trial of the July massacre, the July charter, and the upcoming elections.
"We have urged the chief adviser to announce a coordinated roadmap for the trial of the July massacre, the July charter, and the elections," he said.
