Nahid Islam, the Dhaka-11 candidate of the 11-party alliance and convener of the NCP, alleged that rival party activists were conducting show-of-force activities and intimidating voters at several polling centers, violating the electoral code of conduct. He made the remarks on Thursday, February 12, after visiting Badda Government Girls High School.

He said that in Beraid and Satarkul areas, attempts were made to chase away his supporters, but the situation calmed after army intervention. Nahid added that despite these incidents, voter turnout appeared strong, with many people eager to cast their votes. He also mentioned hearing reports of major disruptions in Dhaka-8, Noakhali-6, and Kurigram-2 constituencies, where his alliance’s candidates and agents were allegedly being obstructed. He stated that all such incidents were being reported to the administration.

Nahid urged all voters to come to the polling centers, emphasizing that voter participation would determine everything and that ensuring a fair election was more important than victory or defeat.
