Jamaat-e-Islami’s nominated candidate for the Bogura-6 by-election, Principal Abidur Rahman, has accused ruling party activists of obstructing his campaign and creating an atmosphere of intimidation. Speaking at a press conference at the Jamaat office in Bogura city on Saturday, he claimed that the administration was not taking effective action against complaints filed by his party. Rahman alleged that BNP activists were attempting to turn the election into another 'Magura-style' event and that his campaign workers were being threatened and attacked in several unions.

He detailed incidents including threats to female workers in Shakharia Union, restrictions on campaign activities in Fapore Union, and physical assaults in Erulia. Rahman said he had submitted 15 complaints supported by video evidence but had seen no visible administrative response. He demanded strict enforcement of the electoral code of conduct, arrest of identified criminals, installation of CCTV cameras at polling centers, cancellation of partisan presiding officers, and deployment of the army before election day.

Rahman warned that any attempt at vote rigging would be strongly resisted, emphasizing the need for a free and fair election environment.
