UK parliamentarian Martin Day said that the polling environment is good in the 12th Parliamentary Election in Bangladesh, but the voter turnout is still not enough.
Martin was responding to the reporters after visiting several polling centers in Dhaka on Sunday (January 7th) noon.
"Voter turnout is still not enough. Hopefully this number will increase. I'm not commenting right now. I'm observing," said Martin.
