BNP-backed VP candidate Abidul Islam Khan has rejected the Daksu election results, alleging widespread irregularities.

In a Facebook post at 2 a.m., he wrote:

“I had already anticipated this planned rigging since noon. The numbers are being fixed at will. I reject this orchestrated farce.”

His statement came shortly after results from three centers showed Abu Sadiq Kayem of the United Students’ Alliance leading by a wide margin.
