The Election Commission (EC) of Bangladesh has formally requested additional police escorts for the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC), four election commissioners, and the senior secretary of the EC Secretariat. The request, sent on December 13 to the Dhaka Metropolitan Police Commissioner, follows the announcement of the 13th National Parliamentary Election schedule on December 11. The EC cited the need for heightened security during the election period to ensure uninterrupted and safe execution of official duties. According to the letter, the CEC already receives a police escort, but an additional vehicle and security team have been sought for the election period. Similar arrangements have been requested for the commissioners and the EC secretary, covering their residences and offices in Dhaka. In separate communications, the EC instructed police commissioners in Dhaka, Chattogram, and Khulna to assign armed guards for regional and returning officers, and directed the Inspector General of Police to strengthen security at all election offices nationwide. The move reflects growing caution within the EC as the country enters a politically sensitive election phase, aiming to prevent disruptions or threats to election officials’ safety.
