B Chy accepts polls delay for participation of all political parties

---

A ten to twelve day delay in election to ensure participation of all parties is acceptable, said Bikalpodhara Bangladesh chief AQM Badruddoza Chowdhury, reports bdnews24.com.
"The participation of all parties will make the election meaningful," the former president said.
His party is ready to participate, nevertheless, if the election is held as scheduled on Dec 18, he added.
Mentioning that the 1/11 changeover occurred due to the failure of the two major political parties, he said: "This time there are 33 per cent young and new voters, and they will decide the future of Bangladesh."
Prof B Chowdhury said his party will declare an electoral front comprising six to seven political parties within the next few days. Dismissing the possibility of having the Ershad-led Jatiyo Party in the alliance, he said: "Oil and water cannot mix."
