EVM fraud
Shahadat Hossain, former joint convenor of the Upazila Chhatra League, was the ship’s voting agent at a booth at the Batia Primary School Center in Sariakandi Township, Bogra. He was seen walking into the secret room in the morning and voting for himself by pressing the EVM button instead of the voter. He beat up the electoral agent of the rebel Awami League candidate for protesting against this.
Judicial Magistrate Niskriti Hagidak arrested Shahadat in Hatena while visiting the center at around 2:45 p.m. Also get evidence of forcing voters to vote by boat. The magistrate sentenced him to one year in prison for two crimes.
Residents of the Nazirpur Township of Naogaon have seen EVM for the first time. The voters were interested in this. However, some have regretted not being able to cast their votes for themselves. Saifur Rahman is one of them. He came to the Nazirpur Government University Center around 10:30 am to cast his vote. His comment, ‘My photo floated up on the screen as soon as I showed my national identity card and gave my fingerprints. At this moment, a person next to him pressed the button and voted for the ship symbol. The man then asked me to cast my vote according to the election of the candidate for councilor. Many voters in the center complained that they could not vote for the mayor. Anarul Islam, a voter for the Nazirpur Siddiquia Fazil Madrasa Center, said the agent of the Awami League mayoral candidate cast his vote after completing all the procedures.
In more or less all municipalities, allegations have been found of pressing the button of the boat symbol in the office of mayor in a secret room, persuading or forcing voters to vote on the boat. The accusations have been made against the election agents of the Awami League candidates, Nauka supporters, and election officials in some places.
Election Commissioner Mahbub Talukder visited Savar yesterday to inspect the municipal elections. There he visited 16 stands in three centers. He later told reporters that he did not see the voting agents for the opposition candidates in the three booths. No posters of opposition candidates were seen in the area. In such a situation, this choice cannot be called participatory.
