The European Union said Friday it would send 130 observers for July's national election, adding to a growing number of international monitors.

This is the fourth time EU observers have participated in elections.

The EU observers will join more than 121,000 local observers from 46 non-governmental agencies, as well as 124 international observers, from the US, Japan and France.
