The National Citizen Party (NCP) has alleged serious irregularities, including violence, polling center takeovers, obstruction of polling agents, ballot snatching, and explosions, during ongoing voting across Dhaka and several districts. At a press conference in Banglamotor on Thursday afternoon, NCP election committee member-secretary Monira Sharmin detailed incidents such as attacks on voters and journalists, forced removal of agents, and assaults in Noakhali’s Hatiya. She also cited reports of fake polling agents, pre-cast votes, and unauthorized ballot stamping in multiple constituencies.

Sharmin accused local officials and police of failing to act responsibly despite written complaints from candidates. She claimed attempts were being made to manipulate results through vote rigging and “electronic engineering.” The NCP warned that the public would not accept any party coming to power through such means. Sharmin further alleged that the BNP was covertly influencing voters to cast “No” votes while publicly campaigning for “Yes.”

She stated that the NCP was monitoring the situation closely and might boycott or reject the election if the alleged irregularities continued.
