Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) countries today assured of helping expatriate Bangladeshis to cast votes in Bangladesh’s next parliament elections as its mission chiefs met with election commissioners to discuss polls preparation at the Election Commission (EC) headquarter.
“The heads of missions from OIC member countries stationed in Bangladesh assured of providing assistance to expatriate Bangladeshis to exercise franchise in next elections,” Election Commissioner Brigadier General (Retd) Abul Fazl Md Sanaullah told newsmen after the meeting.
He said the OIC envoys gave the assurance as the election commission sought help from them so that the expatriates living in those countries could cast votes.
“Several of them expressed their willingness to extend their help,” he added.
The envoys also suggested inviting overseas election monitoring teams as “we have welcomed it,” the election commissioner said. বিস্তারিত
