Nazrul Islam Khan calls peaceful poll a positive sign

BNP Standing Committee member and election coordination committee chief Nazrul Islam Khan has described the overall peaceful atmosphere of the 13th national parliamentary election as a positive sign for Bangladesh’s democratic process.

Highlighting a shift from past electoral experiences, he said the absence of casualties and election-day fatalities marked a significant milestone.

Although the Election Commission has yet to officially declare winners, Nazrul said results gathered from different sources indicate that BNP is leading in more than two-thirds of the seats.

He also claimed that candidates from BNP’s alliance partners have secured a significant number of seats.

​Nazrul said that the people have entrusted the responsibility of governing the state for the next five years to the BNP and the party Chairman Tarique Rahman.

Expressing gratitude to Allah, he also thanked the media, saying the party’s programmes and plans reached the people through mass media coverage.

​On the overall election environment, Nazrul noted that while 100% satisfaction is not possible, violence was significantly lower compared to many previous elections.

Referring to the absence of results for the Chattogram-2 and Chattogram-4 constituencies following a court order, he said the Election Commission would publish the final results in line with judicial directives.

Regarding allegations of irregularities, Nazrul said that anyone making such claims must provide evidence to substantiate them.
