The BNP on Wednesday hoped that the party’s Mayor candidate Advocate Sakhawat Hossain Khan would win in Narayanganj City Corporation polls being held today.
The party also says that the ruling party musclemen are gathering to manipulate the ballot papers at dead of night before the election day. They are also spreadings rumours that the BNP candidate will boycott the polls in the morning of the polls day. The BNP leader confirmed it that the party would not pull out from the polls. The party leaders also hope that the Election Commission will play a positive role in its last time.
“No one could stop the Sheaf of Paddy from victory. We have told the BNP polling agents not to leave vote centers until the voting ends. The vote boycotting is out of question,” BNP Senior Joint-Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said it in a press briefing at the party’s Naya Paltan office.
“We ask the Election Commission to ensure that the polling agents can work fearlessly and stay when the votes will be counted,” he said.
He said, the BNP hopes that the Kazi Rakibuddin Ahmad and the Election Commission will be able to set up an example of free, fair and credible election before its term ends in February.
The residents of Narayanganj should vote against the misrule of the AL government.
“The people of Narayanganj will create a ballot revolution against the authoritarian regime. They will give a verdict to support the restoration of democracy,” Rizvi said.
The BNP leader is, however, anxious about the situation during the voting time.
“The environment in the NCC area seems good till now, but the people are not free from anxiety. We have information that the musclemen of the ruling party are patrolling the city roads. They will take position beside the vote-centres. They may try to influence the polls,” Rizvi said.
He hopes that the EC must resist all the designs to foil election.
BNP central leader Abdus Salam, Khairul Kabir Khokon, Adus Salam Azad and Abdul Awal Khan, among others, were present.
