The BNP on Sunday accused the Election Commission of rescinding party Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia’s candidature in three constituencies on direction of the government.
“After hearing on Khaleda Zia’s appeal against rejection of her candidacy in the EC, ruling Awami League’s Joint General Secretary Jahangir Kabir Nanak went to the EC and asked them not to bow down on any pressure. After Nanak’s departure, the EC rejected Khaleda’s appeal and kept her candidacy rejected,” BNP Senior Joint-Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said it in a press briefing at the party’s Nayapaltan office.
He alleged that the EC rejected Khaleda Zia’s legal candidacy only for government’s order.
Rizvi also accused the government of inflecting the presiding officers of making the ruling party candidates winners on the election day.
BNP Chairperson’s Advisor Shahida Rafique, Joint-Secretary General Syed Moazzem Hossain Alal, Assitant Organising Secretary Abdus Salam Azad and Executive Committee Member Aminul Islam, among others, were present.
