In Bangladesh.

DHAKA (Reuters) - A U.S.-based election monitor said on Monday it had received complaints that Bangladesh's election commission was incompetent and biased, which could lead to serious problems when it conducts a general election next year.

"We have identified a perception of incompetence and bias as a serious problem that requires being addressed," said Tom Daschle, leader of a three-member delegation of the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs....

"The delegation was deeply concerned to hear...of a widespread lack of confidence in the election commission, and, specifically, the chief election commissioner," said a copy of a statement given to reporters at a news conference.
...
"Leaders of major political parties should put the country ahead of the party and negotiate to remove differences for the sake of democracy," Daschle said.
