The chief observer of the European Union Election Observation Mission, Ivers Ijabss, expressed optimism that Bangladesh’s 13th national parliamentary election will be participatory and credible. Speaking at a press conference in Dhaka on Tuesday morning, he said the overall electoral environment appears positive and could mark a new chapter in the country’s democratic history. The EU mission aims to witness a credible and inclusive election, guided by shared principles of democracy, accountability, and the rule of law.
Ijabss noted that the mission has engaged with security forces, the army, and police, and believes that while some areas remain relatively high-risk, authorities have maintained control overall. He emphasized the importance of ensuring participation from all communities, particularly women and minorities, to make the election truly inclusive. Observers are already working across districts and maintaining regular contact with candidates and stakeholders, finding the general atmosphere encouraging.
The EU mission’s preliminary report will be released on February 14, with a final report expected about two months after the election, including recommendations on issues such as social media.
