The Election Commission has asked all the political parties to remove their posters, banners and all kinds of objects for electoral campaigns with own initiative within the next seven days, EC Secretary Helal Uddin Ahmed said today.
“If anyone denies to do so, the commission will take stern steps against them according to the electoral code of conduct,” he said.
No political party or candidate can begin their election campaigning before the allocation of the electoral symbols, Helal Uddin also said.
The EC will allocate the electoral symbols on November 30, Helal Uddin said while talking to reporters at the Nirbachan Bhaban in Dhaka this morning.
The candidates can officially begin conducting their campaigns from December 1, the EC secretary also said.
“We urge all to maintain the electoral code of conducts.”
The EC has also asked all the political parties, who want to participate in the 11th parliamentary election through any coalition, to inform the commission in this regard within next three days, Helal Uddin also said.
“We have already sent letters to all the registered political parties saying that if any political party wants to join the general election though any alliance, it will have to inform the commission within next three days,” he added.
