AMM Nasir Uddin

AMM Nasir Uddin is the Chief Election Commissioner of Bangladesh. He is a central figure in the country's transition following the 2024 student-led uprising that ousted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. He announced the February 12, 2026 parliamentary election, the first since the uprising, and reported a strong voter turnout, characterizing it as Bangladesh boarding the 'train of democracy.' His role is particularly newsworthy due to the election's significance in charting a democratic course for Bangladesh after a year of political upheaval. He also addressed the nation regarding the controversy surrounding dual citizenship for candidates, a divisive issue that threatened to derail the elections. His actions and statements are crucial in restoring stability and trust in the electoral process during this pivotal period in Bangladesh's history.
