After the election, Nazmul Hossain Papon said, “To be honest, I didn’t seek votes from the councilors despite being contested in the election for the first time. But
someone else can seek vote for me or can give sms but I don’t seek vote
personally. I want to see my actual situation.”
“What I understood that the councilors actually want the development of
the cricket and that’s why, they were not biased. Even there are people, whom
I believe don’t like me, they voted me. This made me believe for the sake of cricket, all people came under same umbrella.”
