Protesters in Bangladesh demand Election Commission changes amid ongoing political unrest.

Protesters from the National Citizen Party (NCP) in Bangladesh have staged a rally in front of the Election Commission (EC) headquarters in Dhaka, demanding the EC's reconstitution and the holding of local elections before national polls. They accuse the EC of bias. Meanwhile, BNP supporters continue to block roads and stage sit-ins demanding Ishraque Hossain be named mayor of Dhaka South City Corporation. The High Court is set to rule on a petition seeking to stay the EC's decision. Union leaders have threatened to halt public services unless their demands are met.
