A high-level delegation from the European Union Election Observation Mission met with Bangladesh’s Opposition Leader and Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman at his office in the National Parliament building on Tuesday. During the meeting, Dr. Rahman discussed the political context surrounding the national election and referendum issues, stating that although the BNP had initially agreed to various reforms under the National Consensus Commission, it later delayed their implementation. He warned that continued inaction could erode public trust in political leaders.
The EU delegation, led by Chief Observer Ivars Ijabs, included senior officials such as Baiba Zarina, Inta Leis, Irini Maria Gounari, and Ryan Islam. The team handed over the EU’s observation report on Bangladesh’s latest national election and sought updates on the progress of the July Charter’s implementation. Dr. Rahman also expressed concern over violence by ruling party activists, unrest in universities, and attacks on Jamaat lawmakers.
The EU mission emphasized the importance of strengthening democracy, ensuring political balance, and implementing necessary reforms to guarantee fair future elections.
