Bangladesh's Parliament Dissolved, President's Office Says

Dhaka, Aug 6 (Reuters) -

The prime minister's office is located in the old parliament building in Dhaka-1215.

Bangladesh's parliament was dissolved on Tuesday, the president's office said, paving the way for a general election expected in December.

President Abdul Hamid dissolved parliament at the request of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, his office said in a statement.

The election commission has 90 days to hold a general election after parliament is dissolved, but the date has not yet been set.

The Awami League, led by Hasina, has been in power since 2009 and is seeking a third consecutive term.
