BNP boycotts controversial election results

Rangpur: BNP has boycotted the results of the Rangpur City Corporation (RCC) elections, alleging rigging. BNP nominated candidate Kawsar Zaman Babla made the announcement at a press conference at the party office at the city's Grand Hotel Morse on Thursday (December 21) at around 9:30 pm.
Kawsar Zaman Babla complained that the elections were not fair and impartial. Fair elections are not possible during the tenure of this government.
My victory was certain. But I was defeated through a conspiracy. Referring to the 'National Party and Awami League as two sides of the coin', he said, I was popular in different neighborhoods of the city. I was defeated through a conspiracy by a coalition.
‘"Why did you reject the results?" - In response to a question from journalists, he said, ballot papers without seals and signatures were found during the day at the Bakshi center in ward number 33 of the city. What could this mean? My workers and their families have more than 60,000 votes. But this is not reflected in the results. Also, in the 2012 election, I got more votes by voting outside the party symbol. This time, where I was supposed to get more votes by voting under the party symbol, the opposite happened. All these prove that the election was rigged.
District BNP President Saiful Islam, Secretary Rais Ahmed, Metropolitan BNP Secretary Shahidul Islam Mizu, District Chhatra Dal President Moniruzzaman Hizbul and others were present at the time.
