2014-01-06 |
[Dhaka Tribune] Chief Election Commissioner Kazi Rokibuddin Ahmad claimed the 10th parliamentary elections were held in fair manner in 97% constituencies across the country. The CEC made the statement at a presser early Monday. While replying to query about the total turnout in the polls, he said: "The commission can say about total voting turnout after it gets results from all the constituencies." Asked about the suspended polling centres, he said: "If the voting difference between the contestants will be found greater than the number of voters in the suspended polling centres, elections will be held in those centres." "I have not left any stone unturned," he replied a query whether he is satisfied with the elections. Voting at 440 polling centres in the country has been postponed following attacks allegedly by anti-polls activists on the eve of the 10th national elections. Meanwhile, ...back at the shouting match, the spittle had reached unprecedented levels... the counting of votes has been postponed in Bogra 7 and Dinajpur 4 constituencies. |
