Main thing is to carry out the job properly: New commissioner Alamgir
Newly appointed election commissioner (EC) Md Alamgir said it is not a big deal to be an election commissioner but discharging the duty properly is the main task.
The senior secretary came up with this reaction while talking to Prothom Alo
"I myself could not believe the news that I have been appointed an election commissioner. As I didn't contact or lobby anyone over the matter, it seems unbelievable to me," the former secretary said.
Earlier, former senior secretary of the defence ministry, Kazi Habibul Awal, has been appointed the chief election commissioner (CEC).
The four other commissioners are retired district and sessions judge Begum Rashida Sultana, retired Brig Gen Ahsan Habib, former senior secretary Md Alamgir and Anisur Rahman.
President M Abdul Hamid appointed them for the next five years, said a gazette notification of the cabinet division on Saturday.
