In the by-election of the Dhaka-5 constituency, there has been a controversy over the voting of the Awami League deputy candidate Kazi Monirul Islam Manu. Although the ruling party candidate claimed to have voted for the seat, the BNP candidate Salahuddin Ahmed denied it.
Kazi Monirul Islam arrived at the Jatrabari Ideal School and College Center shortly after 9 am on Saturday (October 18). Candidates often enter the polls with media personnel. Then he went to the secret room and exercised his right to vote.
However, Kazi Monirul Islam did not go to the room with the media staff that day. The Awami League candidate came out shortly after entering the room. Later, when asked about voting at the center’s premises, Monirul Islam said: “I am a voter here, I have voted.”
On the other hand, BNP candidate Salahuddin says that this demand from the Awami League candidate is false. Visiting the same center, the BNP candidate said: ‘He (Manu) cannot vote in this seat. Because he is a voter from Gandaria in the Dhaka-4 constituency. Now if you claim to have voted here, it is not true.
Despite participating in the Dhaka-5 constituency, the BNP’s own candidate, Salahuddin, is not a voter in this constituency. As a result, you will not be able to vote. However, Salauddin blamed the Electoral Commission for this. He said, ‘I was a voter in this district. In the 2018 elections, I participate from the Dhaka-4 constituency. Then I register my vote in that seat. However, the Electoral Commission did not give me that opportunity even though I wanted to change this seat again.
