Voting was suspended for an hour in a polling centre after a scuffle between supporters of two chairman candidates of Narsingdi Sadar upazila this morning
The first phase of the sixth upazila parishad election is underway in 139 upazilas across the country
A total of 139 upazilas are going to polls today in the first phase of the upazila parishad election amid a lack of enthusiasm and festivity.
The upazila election has exposed how neither of the two major parties, the Awami League and BNP, has full control over the grassroots leaders.
Most political parties are either boycotting or did not field candidates for the upazila elections set to begin in phases from May 8.
The Awami League yesterday instructed its leaders, ministers, and lawmakers not to interfere in the upazila parishad elections and indulge in any activity that could compromise the neutrality of the polls.
The fourth phase of upazila parishad elections yesterday saw sporadic violence and irregularities in a number of places.
Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader yesterday described BNP's announcement of boycotting the upcoming local government polls as “suicidal” for the party.
