Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) KM Nurul Huda has said he personally thinks that army should be deployed in the upcoming national election.

He came up with the comment while replying to queries from reporters at a programme titled ‘Introducing Overseas Voting in Bangladesh’ organised by Election Working Group at the Cirdap auditorium in the city on Sunday.

The CEC said that though he supports troop deployment for national elections, he would not be in support of it during local government elections.
