Chief Election Commission Kazi Rakibuddin Ahmed claims that voting in the third phase of Union Parishad (UP) elections was held in a free, fair and congenial atmosphere.

BNP urges Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Kazi Rakibuddin Ahmed to announce cancellation of phase 1 and 2 of Union Parishad elections over irregularities and violence across the country.

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia calls upon the party men not to get frustrated by the results saying free and fair elections will take place timely.

Ruling Awami League Joint General Secretary Mahbubul Alam Hanif says BNP took additional benefits in conducting campaigns for municipality polls.

Apparently turning down BNP’s demand, the chief election commissioner (CEC) claims that the situation has not come to the point that requires army deployment for the municipal polls.
