Just two days before the DUCSU elections, opposition-backed VP candidate Abidul Islam Khan has alleged that large numbers of ballot papers were discovered in an unsecured condition. Despite filing complaints, he claims the university administration has taken no action and offered no explanation.
“Ballot papers found at Nilkhet cannot be swept under the rug. The truth will come out. Transparency is our responsibility,” Abidul wrote on social media. He added that everything would soon be clear and urged supporters not to be swayed by misinformation.
On Tuesday, Abidul and several other candidates, including VP hopeful Umama Fatema and Abdul Kader, submitted formal complaints at the Vice-Chancellor’s office. Abidul alleged the ballots were found at a press in Nilkhet’s Gausul Azam area, but the authorities have failed to respond.
