Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam stated that the police regained their self-esteem through the recent election. He made the remarks on Sunday, February 15, 2026, at a press conference held at the Foreign Service Academy auditorium. Alam said the cabinet observed that the police performed well, overcoming earlier doubts about their confidence and ability to ensure a fair election.

He noted that body-worn cameras were used extensively for the first time, and the Chief Adviser personally observed operations from police headquarters for about one and a half hours, communicating directly with 17 polling centers. The cabinet expects broader deployment of such technology in future elections. The “Suraksha” app and CCTV systems were also described as highly effective for coordination and monitoring.

The Home Adviser reported that four deaths occurred after the election, with one confirmed as election-related violence. A committee has been formed to investigate the incident involving a girl in Hatiya. Senior Assistant Press Secretary Faiz Ahmed and Assistant Press Secretary Suchismita Tithi were present at the event.
