The National Citizens Party (NCP) has expressed deep concern to the Election Commission over alleged violence, intimidation, and administrative bias in various parts of Bangladesh ahead of the upcoming parliamentary election and referendum. A delegation led by Akram Hossain, Advocate Humayra Nur, and Ayman Rahat met Chief Election Commissioner A.M.M. Nasir Uddin in Agargaon on February 2 to convey these concerns.

Following the meeting, Ayman Rahat told reporters that activists of the BNP and Awami League were carrying out coordinated attacks on Jamaat and NCP supporters, while authorities failed to take effective action despite filed cases. He cited incidents in Noakhali’s Hatiya, where armed attacks occurred during a ferry inauguration event and subsequent rallies. Rahat alleged that local officials remained inactive and that the administration’s neutrality was in question.

The NCP also raised issues regarding statements by BNP leaders suggesting involvement of law enforcement and intelligence agencies in candidate selection, and criticized a Bangladesh Bank official’s actions following a political speech. The party urged the Election Commission to ensure a level playing field and take stronger visible measures to guarantee a fair and credible election process.
