Canada: Did not send election observers to Bangladesh

The government of Canada has not deployed any election observer to monitor Bangladesh’s January 7 national election, the Canadian High Commission in Dhaka said today.

“Any individual who identifies as a Canadian observer is acting independently,” reads a message shared on X (formerly Twitter).

Their views, said the Canadian High Commission, have not been endorsed by the government of Canada.

The 12th national polls in Bangladesh was held on Sunday.
