Candidates are so emotional that they have fought themselves. Election Commission (EC) Secretary Humayun Kabir Khandaker made the remarks at the Election Building on Sunday about the death of a man in Chittagong's Patiya after the fourth phase of the municipal polls. The EC secretary said the polls had been completed peacefully in 55 municipalities across the country.
Voting has been stopped at four centers in Narsingdi due to irregularities. Voting has been stopped at one center in Sonamuri, Noakhali due to irregularities. Voting has been suspended at two centers in Damudya, Shariatpur, for a total of seven centers.
The rest of the 503 polling stations were held peacefully, he said. "We have received reports every hour from the Returning Officers, and from what we have seen in the media, we think it was a good vote," he said. But your expectation was a conflict-free election, has it been fulfilled? In response to such questions from the journalists, Humayun Kabir said that he was right.
What happened in Patiya, outside our polling station, there was a clash between the candidates. One person died in it, it is definitely sad for us. We don't expect anyone to let this happen. The fight between the candidates took place outside the polling station.
But there was no effect on the polling at the polling station. Voting was peaceful there.
We think that the seven that we have mentioned, except for these, the rest have got good votes.
