The Election Commission (EC) of Bangladesh has urged the public and media to avoid spreading unverified information regarding the schedule and date of the upcoming national parliamentary elections. Senior Secretary Akhtar Ahmed stated on Friday, December 5, that no final decision has yet been made on the announcement of the election timetable. He emphasized that any date being circulated is based on personal assumptions and not official confirmation. Recent media reports have speculated that the election schedule might be announced on December 11, with voting possibly taking place in February. The EC is set to hold a formal meeting on Sunday to discuss the election schedule and has also requested a meeting with President Mohammed Shahabuddin to consult on the matter. According to sources, the President has agreed to meet the EC on December 10 at noon. The EC’s caution highlights its efforts to maintain transparency and prevent misinformation as political parties and voters await the official election timeline.
