Fresh voting will be held in two centres of Sylhet City Corporation (SCC), on August 11 (Saturday). Polling was suspended on Monday amid reports of irregularities.
The Election Commission’s Deputy Secretary Farhad Hossain confirmed it to the media.
The two centres are Gazi Burhanuddin Garam Dewan Government Primary School (Ward no. 24) and
Hobinandi Government Primary School (Ward no. 27).
There are 2,221 voters at Gazi Burhanuddin Garam Dewan Government Primary School centre and 2,566 at Hobinandi Government Primary School.
The elections to Rajshahi, Barishal and Sylhet City Corporations were held on Monday.
However, the official announcement of the results was postponed in Sylhet as the number of votes in two centres where voting was suspended is higher than the difference between the two leading candidates’ tallies.
BNP mayor candidate Ariful Haque Chowdhury has taken a lead of 4,626 votes in 132 centres out of 134. Ariful bagged 90,496 votes while Awami League’s Badar Uddin Ahmed Kamran polled 85,870.
The BNP candidate now needs only 81 votes out of 4,787.
Returning Officer Md Alimuzzaman announced the results of the 132 centres at Abul Maal Abdul Muhith Sports Complex on Monday midnight.
