Dr. Tasnim Jara, a former leader of the Nationalist Citizen Party (NCP), is contesting as an independent candidate in the Dhaka-9 constituency for the 13th National Election. On Wednesday, she posted on her verified Facebook page advising voters not to cast their ballots for individuals who threaten or offer money in exchange for votes. She emphasized that no one can know whom a voter supports inside the booth and urged citizens to reject those who attempt to influence them through fear or financial incentives.

Tasnim Jara is running under the football symbol, while her main opponent in the constituency is BNP-nominated candidate Habibur Rashid Habib. Her message highlights concerns about voter intimidation and vote-buying practices ahead of the election. The post reflects her appeal for ethical voting behavior and resistance to coercion or corruption in the electoral process.

The statement comes amid heightened political activity in Dhaka-9 as candidates intensify their campaigns before the upcoming national polls.
