US wants fair elections in Bangladesh: Peter Haas
US ambassador to Bangladesh Peter Haas has wished the Bangladesh election commission (EC) all success in its “great civic responsibility” of conducting free and fair elections, reports news agency UNB.
On 3 July, ambassador Haas and other heads of diplomatic missions in Dhaka met with Chief Election Commissioner Kazi Habibul Awal.
