Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Kazi Habibul Awal has urged the country's political parties to keep an eagle eye on the activities of the Election Commission (EC).
He said that the parties will definitely have to keep the commission under pressure.
"I believe it is necessary. If you [poltical parties] notice any irregularities from our side, make it public right away.
"We do not want to be biased in any way possible," the CEC added during a meeting with a Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Bangladesh delegation at the commission's office in Dhaka on Tuesday.
He said, "Put some trust in us. But don't become blind while doing that. You have to remain vigilant. Are we really righteous or dishonest inside?
"If you don't keep an eye on things, you aren't doing your job either. If you have any complaints, send them to us immediately."
