The Election Commission (EC) of Bangladesh has invited 80 domestic election observer organizations to participate in a dialogue ahead of the upcoming 13th National Parliamentary Election. The discussions are scheduled for Tuesday, November 25, at the EC headquarters in Agargaon, Dhaka. According to Assistant Director of Public Relations Md.
