Defeated candidates demand repolling

Star Country Desk
Four defeated candidates have demanded re-polling in their constituencies, bringing allegations of vote rigging, ballot box snatching and assault on agents by their opponents during national elections held on Sunday.
The candidates are Golam Kibria Tipu from Barisal-2, Khademul Islam Khudi from Gaibandha-3, Shankar Pal from Habiganj-2, Atiqur Rahman from Habiganj-3 and Syed Mohammad Tanvir Ahmed from Habiganj-4 parliamentary constituencies.
Our Barisal correspondent reported that Jatiya Party (Ershad) candidate Golam Kibria Tipu on Sunday night submitted a petition to Returning Officer Shahidul Alam, accusing the supporters of his rival candidate advocate Tipu Sultan (unofficially elected) of rigging vote at 16 out of 87 centres.
He alleged that Tipu's men forcibly ousted his agents from 15 centres in Babuganj upazila and one centre in Muladi upazila and stamped ballots in his favour with the help of local administration.
He demanded re-polling at the centres, cancelling the election results announced on Sunday night. Workers Party candidate advocate Tipu Sultan won the JS seat, securing 35,605 votes. His nearest rival candidate Golam Kibria Tipu polled 23,407 votes.
In Gaibandha, independent candidate Khademul Islam Khudi yesterday
demanded re-election in Gaibandha-3 constituency.
Addressing a press conference at the local press club, Khademul alleged that the AL activists were involved in vote rigging at Bakshiganj, Chandia, Caigari, Jamalpur, Bhatgram, Khorda Ruhea, Tiagacha Ganga and Narayanpur polling centres in Sadullapur upazila and stamped ballots in favour of their party candidate Dr Younus Ali Sarker.
Khademul said he filed a petition with the returning officer on Sunday night, alleging massive irregularities in voting at the centres.
Our Moulvibazar correspondent adds: Three defeated candidates of Habiganj--Shankar Pal, Atiqur Rahman and Syed Mohammad Tanvir—have rejected election results and demanded re-polling in their constituencies.
Addressing a joint press conference at Habiganj Press Club on Sunday night, the three candidates alleged that Awami League activists captured 96 centres in their constituencies and cast 'false' votes in favour of their candidates.
Of the polling centres, 41 are in Habiganj-2, 25 in Habiganj-3 and 30 in Habiganj-4 constituencies. Shankar Pal and Atiqur Rahman contested the parliamentary election in Habiganj-2 and Habiganj-3 JS seats as Jatiya Party candi-dates while Syed Mohammad Tanvir Ahmed was an independent candidate in Habiganj-4.
