Elections in emergency-rule Bangladesh have been put on hold indefinitely until “It is not possible to give a specific timeframe for the elections as reforms are still being carried out,” he said speaking in Chittagong on Tuesday night. Ahmed’s new interim government has pledged to carry out a string of reforms aimed at ensuring the elections are credible. “The influence of the 3Ms — money, muscle and misuse of authority — has to be curbed to pave the way for free and fair elections,” he said. Ahmed’s deputy spokesman Sarwar Alam provided the quotes on Wednesday.
