Election Commission is not worried about the election as it thinks that the national election will be held on time, said Election Commissioner Mohammad Alamgir on Sunday.

"We have no tension about the election. The election will be held on time and we are fully confident about it," the election commissioner said while talking to journalists at the EC building.

“We arranged all the previous elections fairly and the next elections will be held in the same manner,” he said.

In response to a question about the BNP, he said, "We will be happy if the BNP comes to the polls." We want them to participate in the elections, we are ready for fair elections. We want all political parties to come. You (BNP) come to the election and the vote will be fair,” he added.

“It’s true that all political parties don’t participate in the elections. We have 44 political parties. All of them will not participate and it did not happen in the past,” said EC Alamgir.

Even in the 70's elections, not all parties joined the polls, said the commissioner.

Regarding dialogue with political parties, EC Alamgir said that there has been no discussion on dialogue yet.
