An independent delegation from the US Embassy in Dhaka will visit Dhaka, Chattogram, Sylhet, and Khulna on election day to observe the voting process, according to Election Commission Senior Secretary Akhtar Ahmed. The announcement followed a meeting between US Ambassador Brent Christensen and Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) in Dhaka on Wednesday. After the meeting, the ambassador stated that the United States would not take sides in the election.
Akhtar Ahmed explained that the US Embassy team would not be formal observers but would visit polling areas to see the situation firsthand and later report to the US Senate. He added that the Election Commission had not given any instructions on how the team should conduct its observation, as it was beyond their jurisdiction. The embassy will provide a list of delegates, and the commission will facilitate their movement.
The US ambassador also inquired about the election code of conduct, law and order situation, and travel arrangements during the meeting, according to the Election Commission official.
