Independent candidate Barrister Rumin Farhana has reacted to the publication of an official letter from the Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) of Sarail, Brahmanbaria. In a video message posted on her Facebook page late Sunday night, she questioned how the UNO could handle election duties if he could not maintain the confidentiality of his own office’s letter for even 24 hours. She also expressed concern about the security of votes in the upcoming election.
Rumin Farhana stated that she had submitted multiple complaints on January 13, 2026, to the UNO and the district administration regarding violations of the electoral code of conduct but had not received any updates or actions taken. She alleged that her rival, particularly the BNP-backed coalition candidate, was holding large rallies using sound systems and microphones in violation of the rules, yet no action had been taken against them.
She further mentioned an incident where the Ashuganj Upazila BNP general secretary allegedly made an obscene gesture toward a magistrate’s vehicle, which had been parked outside a rally venue for security reasons.
