BNP candidate Dr. Sansila Jebin has alleged irregularities and vote manipulation in the Sherpur Sadar-1 constituency election, calling for the suspension of results and a re-vote. Speaking to journalists at the Election Commission on Saturday, she claimed that votes for her party symbol, the paddy sheaf, were deliberately reduced through planned efforts.

In her post-election remarks, Dr. Jebin alleged that officials at polling centers were influenced in favor of her rival candidate, whose party symbol is the plough, representing the Jatiya Party. She further claimed that while agents of Jamaat, NCP, and Jatiya Party operated freely, BNP agents faced intimidation and obstruction inside polling centers.

According to Dr. Jebin, voters supporting her were deliberately delayed in queues to reduce turnout, which she described as a planned tactic. She urged the Election Commission to investigate the alleged irregularities and ensure a re-vote, asserting that the true will of the voters was not reflected in the results.
