Party senior leaders said this after coming out of a meeting of the BNP standing committee chaired by party Chairperson Khaleda Zia at her Gulshan office yesterday night. They said that while a number of names came up in the meeting, no final decision on names or whether or not to propose any names to the search committee was made in the meeting that began and 9:30pm and ended shortly before 11:00pm.
A party leader, requesting anonymity, said the party is seriously considering to propose names to the search committee, but BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia will give the final decision over the matter today (Monday). The search committee formed by President Abdul Hamid held its first meeting on Saturday asking each of the 31 political parties which took part in talks with the President over formation of the next EC to propose five names by Tuesday next.
President Abdul Hamid on Wednesday formed a six-member search committee, headed by Supreme Court's Appellate Division judge Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain, for reconstituting the EC.
A BNP standing committee member earlier said the meeting was convened to discuss the country’s current political situation.
