On September 5, the Election Commission led by Kazi Habibul Awal stepped aside following the political turmoil in Bangladesh.
President Mohammed Shahabuddin has formed a new five-member Election Commission headed by retired secretary AMM Nasir Uddin following section 118 (1) of the Constitution, two and a half months after the mass uprising.
The president chose the new members of the Election Commission from a list of names proposed by the search committee formed as per the provisions made during the rule of the Awami League.
