Saturday, 18 January 2014
The Election Commission has said several Upazila Parishads will go to polls in February as their terms are coming to an end.
Bangladesh has 147 Upazila Parishads. Tenures of over 100 of them will end by mid-February, according to a news agency.
“Terms of some Upazilas are ending in the middle of February. There is a legal obligation to hold elections there,” Chief Election Commissioner Kazi Rakibuddin Ahmad said Saturday.
