Gazipur city polls 2023: The presence of the ruling Awami League was overwhelming inside and outside some polling centres in the first four hours of voting in the Gazipur City Corporation election today.
Voter turnout in the Gazipur City Corporation was low in the morning, but it should increase as the day progresses, said the polls' returning officer and the Gazipur deputy commissioner.
Voting in the Gazipur City Corporation election ended after eight hours, during which there was no report of violence. Counting of votes began shortly after balloting ended at 4:00pm
CEC Kazi Habibul Awal's recent comments on the use of black money in elections in Gazipur, ahead of the five city corporation polls, especially with the 12th parliamentary elections just months away, will certainly not help uphold the Election Commission’s dignity, but question its intention and credibility instead.
