He said that the Chief Advisor has repeatedly made this clear.

Shafiqul Alam also said that the timing of the elections depends on the demands of our stakeholders. In dialogue with us, they will express their wishes, how much reform they want.

‘Reform is an ongoing process for a country. But people have high expectations from this interim government. One of the main desires of the July coup was state reform. These reforms have been commissioned for state reform.’

The chief advisor and the reform commission will discuss with the stakeholders for a fair election. A decision will be taken on the basis of these discussions.
