Opis

This book provides a contextual analysis of the CTG mechanism including its inception, operation, manipulation and its abrupt demise. It queries whether this constitutional provision, even if presently abolished after overseeing four acceptable general elections, actually remains a crucial tool to safeguard free and fair elections in Bangladesh.
