Tofail Ahmed said the elections of the maximum countries of the world are being held under the ruling party.

No matter whatever BNP says, the minister said, the next national election will be conducted by the Election Commission under existing parliament and under the ruling party.

There are no other possibilities, Commerce Minister asserted.

So, it will be reasonable for BNP to take preparation for the election, he added.
