DHAKA, Nov. 8 (Xinhua) -- Bangladesh's Election Commission will hold its final talks with political parties next week to prepare for the country's 13th general election slated for February.
Due to the limited time, Akhtar Ahmed, the commission's senior secretary, told media that they will invite 53 registered political parties in groups.
According to the official, this will be the last step before the commission announces the full election schedule next month.
The Bangladeshi Chief Adviser's office announced in October that the commission could announce the date for the election by the first week of December this year.
The commission said earlier that more than 127 million voters are registered for the election. ■
