BNP has long alleged that the three national elections were manipulated and lacked credibility, blaming the Election Commission at the time for facilitating vote rigging and undermining democratic processes.
On 16 June, Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus instructed officials concerned to immediately form a committee to investigate the roles played by former chief election commissioners, election commissioners, and secretaries of the Election Commission in organising the last three national elections.
