Bangladesh’s Election Commission (EC) has not yet fixed the date for announcing the election schedule, despite being fully prepared for the upcoming 13th National Parliamentary Election. EC Secretary Akhtar Ahmed made the statement on Saturday, December 6, during a journalists’ workshop at the Election Training Institute in Agargaon, Dhaka. The interim government earlier indicated that the national election would be held in February, prompting the EC to initially plan for a schedule announcement in early December. Chief Election Commissioner A.M.M. Nasir Uddin had previously mentioned the possibility of declaring the schedule in the second week of December. This year’s election will also coincide with a national referendum. Ahmed emphasized that all logistical and administrative preparations are in place and urged the media to avoid spreading misinformation. The workshop, organized by UNDP and the Reporters Forum for Election and Democracy (RFED), focused on election laws, candidate conduct rules, and special provisions for election officials. Observers expect the EC to announce the schedule soon, as political parties and voters await clarity on the election timeline.
