Bangladesh EC to release Feb poll plan this week

Bangladesh’s top polls body will announce the action plan for the upcoming general elections within this week, a senior official has said.

The 13th parliamentary polls are set to take place in February next year. Ahmed’s remarks come amid growing speculation over the elections, following statements by leaders of the National Citizen Party who dismissed the possibility of polls taking place in February next year without key reforms and the completion of trials initiated by the interim government.
