Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain on Sunday expressed optimism that the upcoming parliamentary election, scheduled for February 12, will be held in a fair and peaceful manner. The adviser also said voter turnout in the upcoming national election would exceed 55%, citing political consensus and past electoral participation. “I believe turnout in this election will be more than 55%,” he said, noting that voter turnout in the 1991 national election stood at 55%. Since the major parties are now in favour of the ‘Yes’ vote, I think it will pass quite easily,” he added. The program was chaired by DCAB President AKM Moinuddin, while DCAB General Secretary Abu Hena Imrul Kayes also spoke.
