Stance unchanged, EC Mahbub says on polls comment

Election Commissioner Mahbub Talukder has said his earlier stance over the 11th parliamentary election has not changed as he sought to clear misgivings, reports bdnews24.com.

Confusion was created over his comment during a programme organised on January 03 to thank EC officials where he said "we have presented a participatory election."

The comment triggered a debate because before the December 30 election, Talukder told reporters that there were no equal opportunities for the political parties.

"I've not changed my stance," he said in a statement on Tuesday.
