Bangladesh: UK ready to send independent observers to Bangladesh national polls, Envoy

DHAKA, 23 August 2022, (TON): British High Commissioner Robert Chatterton Dickson said “the United Kingdom is ready to send independent observers to the national election of Bangladesh if the country's Election Commission allows for it.”

he added "To ensure democratic institutions are effective, fair and credible elections are a must. A fair election must ensure that all parties are allowed to participate. Everyone should be able to cast their vote freely, and the results of the election must be accepted by all parties.”

"However, no foreign nation can tell Bangladesh how to conduct its election, and the demand for a fair election must come from the people of Bangladesh."
