Mohammad Aminul Haque, a rival candidate in the 13th National Parliamentary Election, has demanded suspension of the results for Dhaka-16 constituency, citing widespread irregularities, corruption, and vote rigging. On Friday, he submitted a written petition to the Returning Officer at the Election Commission Secretariat, calling for an investigation and re-voting in disputed centers.
In his petition, Haque alleged serious violations of the Representation of the People Order (RPO) 1972 and the electoral code of conduct during the February 12 election. He claimed to possess video evidence of money distribution by an opposing candidate on the eve of the vote and said polling agents were intimidated and expelled from centers. According to him, result sheets were prepared without agents’ signatures in over 40 centers, and in some cases, signatures were taken before vote counting. He also alleged that voters were obstructed from entering centers and that pre-stamped ballot books were found before polling began.
Haque further stated that discrepancies existed between announced results and those provided by presiding officers and postal votes. Having received no remedy from the Assistant Returning Officer, he invoked section 91A of the RPO, seeking suspension of results and formation of a high-level investigation committee.
