Many people including some ministers and MPs have applied to the Election Commission (EC) demanding redrawing the boundaries of the country's parliamentary constituencies.
Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Kazi Rakibuddin Ahmad said this at a press briefing at the EC Secretariat conference room yesterday.
“On consultation with civil society personalities and senior journalists, we will finalise the course of actions to this effect,” he said.
“It is difficult to satisfy everybody by the redrawing task,” he added.
As per the schedule, the EC will hold talks with civil society personalities on September 13, and with senior journalists later.
About holding talks with political parties, the CEC said the EC would invite them to the talks in a convenient time.
He said the EC would begin the process for registering political parties with it.
“A political party willing to get registered may apply anytime,” he said.
