Former Chief Election Commissioner KM Nurul Huda has confessed in court to irregularities surrounding Bangladesh’s controversial 2018 national election, which faced widespread criticism for vote rigging and partisan conduct. His statement was recorded on Tuesday by Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md. Ziadur Rahman after Huda was brought from remand by the Police Bureau of Investigation. The lawsuit, filed by BNP’s Salah Uddin Khan, accuses three former CECs, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, and senior police officials of systematic arrests, abductions, and voter intimidation during the 2014, 2018, and 2024 elections. The charges include sedition, fraud, and embezzlement. Former CEC Kazi Habibul Awal has also been arrested and remanded as part of the ongoing probe
