The European Union (EU) sought an appointment with Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) of Bangladesh Kazi Habibul Awal to hold a joint meeting ahead of the country’s 12th parliamentary elections.

EU Ambassador Charles Whiteley sent Habibul Awal an email on Wednesday, seeking the latter’s appointment on 27 November.

“I would like to have an opportunity to participate in a joint meeting at your office to know more details about the current work plan of the Election Commission,” the EU ambassador said in the email.

“I look forward to your consent to exchange views,” adds the email.

He further asked the CEC whether they could hold the meeting on 27 November at 3pm.

In the email, Whiteley also thanked the CEC for the previous exchange of views between the EU and the Election Commission on its preparations for the upcoming elections.

Officials at the Election Commission said that Charles Whiteley’s letter has been stored as a document at the commission. However, no schedule has yet been finalised, neither by the commission nor the CEC.
