Barrister A.M. Mahbub Uddin Khokon, president of the Supreme Court Bar Association and BNP candidate for Noakhali-1 (Chatkhil-Sonaimuri), declared that no one will be allowed to manipulate the upcoming national election. Speaking on Friday evening at a prayer gathering in Debkala Government Primary School field, Sonaimuri, held for the late BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia, he warned that any attempt at electoral fraud would face a strong response.

Khokon emphasized that the BNP, founded by Ziaur Rahman and led by Khaleda Zia, seeks a free, fair, and neutral election. He stated that no deceit, fraud, or conspiracy would be tolerated. Referring to teachers who support Jamaat-e-Islami and wish to serve as presiding or polling officers, he said no partisan individuals should hold such positions. He warned that any teacher found working for a political party during election duties would face legal action.

The event was chaired by union BNP president Dr. Tajul Islam and attended by several local BNP and affiliated leaders, including Didar Hossain, Kutub Uddin Sani, and others.
