“I believe the BNP will rely on us and participate in the coming elections,” the EC chief said during an inspection of the voter registration process in the Dhaka metropolitan area on Saturday. The BNP boycotted the tenth parliamentary elections after the Awami League government chose not to transfer power to a caretaker government for the polls. However, the BNP has raised demands for a ‘supportive government’ during the elections. Despite their reluctance to participate in an election overseen by the current government, the BNP has agreed to participate in an ongoing discussion with the EC. But all the recommendations from the discussion will be sent to the parties and the government.”
