EC to continue legal fight on Chandpur-1

---

The Election Commission (EC) has decided to continue its legal fight challenging the High Court (HC) order that stayed a gazette declaring the Chandpur-1 constituency vacant, reports bdnews24.com.
Election Commissioner Sohul Hossian told journalists about the decision after a meeting with the other commissioners Monday.
The HC, on September 26, suspended the effectiveness of an EC gazette upon a petition by Mahiuddin Khan Alamgir, Awami League MP of Chandpur-1. The court also asked the EC to explain within three weeks why its gazette should not be declared illegal.
Sohul said, "Our decision to publish the gazette was right and it corresponds to the court (Supreme Court) order."
