Chief Adviser Yunus orders committee formation to investigate officials over past three ‘disputed’ elections

Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus has ordered the formation of a committee to investigate the roles of former top Election Commission officials in organising three previous ‘controversial’ national polls.

The directive came during a meeting of the National Consensus Commission held at the State Guest House Jamuna on Monday, according to a statement from the Chief Advisor’s Office.

The investigation will focus on former chief election commissioners, election commissioners, and secretaries of the Election Commission Secretariat who were involved in elections held under the previous Awami League government, the statement said.
