The European Union (EU) intends to send 150 election observers to monitor Bangladesh's upcoming national election.
For this purpose, a tripartite agreement will be signed between the EU, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Election Commission (EC).
EC Senior Secretary Akhtar Ahmed disclosed the plan today (29 September) after a meeting at the EC headquarters in Agargaon with members of the EU's pre-election assessment mission.
