Ariful Haque Chowdhury, BNP mayor candidate for Sylhet City Corporation elections, today said despite such wide-spread rigging he would not boycott the polls as he wants to "see the end of it."

Ariful made the comments in front of the office of the returning officer at Sylhet city around 2:00pm today.

Earlier in the day, the mayoral candidate alleged that the ballot boxes in a few wards were already stuffed last night.

While talking to reporters after casting his vote at Raynagar Government Primary School centre in Jherjheri area of Sylhet, Ariful also expressed his concern over the outcome of the polls saying that Sajeeb Wazed Joy already hinted at the possible results of the elections.
