A court has declared BNP candidate Ishraq Hossain as the winner of the 2020 Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) election, nullifying the government’s gazette that recognized Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh as mayor.

The court cited electoral irregularities and corruption as reasons for annulling the previous results. Ishraq Hossain had filed a case challenging the election outcome on March 3, 2020.
