Stepping into Chuadanga on Sunday afternoon, the first thing that stood out was the absence of “sheaf of paddy”, the electoral symbol of the BNP.

Three BNP leaders are allegedly picked up by law enforcers from Jashore-Magura highway when they were going to campaign for the BNP candidate of Jashore-3 constituency.

At least 15 people are hurt during an attack on an election campaign of opposition Jatiya Oikyafront in Chattogram’s Fatickchhari.

Harunur Rashid, Krishak League secretary of Dhaka North unit, is attacked allegedly by the activists of Jamaat-e-Islami and its students' wing Islami Chhatra Shibir at an makeshift election campaign office of Awami League in Dhaka .

With the December 30 election approaching, people in Satkhira, known as a stronghold of the Jamaat-e-Islami, fear that the party may resort to violence again, the way it did in 2013 centring a verdict on Delawar Hossain Sayedee.

Around two weeks before the national polls, the Awami League-led alliance candidates are dominating the electioneering scene in cities, district towns and even villages while the picture is quite the opposite for the contestants of the BNP-led alliance.

The Jatiya Oikyafront candidates in the six constituencies of Khulna are heavily depending on female activists for their campaigns as most of the men are either on the run or under cover fearing police.

The Barishal-1 constituency comprises two upazilas -- Gournadi and Agailjhara.
