The Election Commission (EC) Secretary Helal Uddin Ahmed claimed that around 50 per cent of the voters cast their votes in the Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) by-election.
“We primarily estimated that turnout of voters in the election was 50 per cent,” Helal Uddin said it while addressing a post-polls press conference in the Nirbachan Bhaban at Agargaon in Sher-e-Bangla Nagar in Dhaka.
Echoing the CEC KM Nurul Huda, the EC secretary said, the commission has nothing to do for the
low turnout of voters in the election.
Earlier in the day, KM Nurul Huda said the low turnout in the elections is not the liability of the commission.
The CEC said, it is the commission’s responsibility is to create an election atmosphere, not to bring the voters to the polling stations.
“We took all the measures for holding the election in a free, fair and credible manner. There was no flaw in the electoral system,” the CEC said.
