Election Commissioner (EC) Anisur Rahman stated today that if they fail to conduct a free, fair, and acceptable national election on January 7, the state will fail itself and become isolated from the rest of the world.

"If we cannot hold a free, fair, and credible election, if we fail for any reason, then our state itself will become a failed state. We don't want that because we will be cut off from the whole world," Anisur Rahman said while talking to the reporters at a training programme for executive magistrates regarding the 12th national poll at the Bangabandhu International Conference Center in the capital on Tuesday (2 January).

"In no way can we allow the next election to be questioned. Immediate action should be taken without wasting time. There is only one directive from the Election Commission, and that is the polls will be free and fair,” the EC added.

Anisur Rahman further stressed that this election is not only being watched by the 180 million people of Bangladesh but also by the whole world.
