The ruling Awami League will not sit down and have the scheduled dialogue with the Election Commission today.
The party will seek further extension of time.
So far three dates have been fixed for the dialogue with the latest being today (July 19).
First time the dialogue was slated for June 9. But the date was extended to June 18 as AL could not attend dialogue due to placing of national budget in the parliament. Later the dialogue was rescheduled again for July 19.
"We won't be able to sit down with the Election Commission tomorrow [today] as there is a cabinet meeting, and many of the party designated people are members of the cabinet. We will send a delegation tomorrow seeking a new date for the dialogue", said AL General Secretary Syed Ashraful Islam.
Briefing journalists after a party meeting at AL President Sheikh Hasina's political office in Dhanmondi, he said they would have the dialogue on a new date. AL leaders Abdul Mannan Khan and Mrinal Kanti Das will talk to the EC today in this regard.
