No irregularities seen in CCTV cameras: EC Rashida

Election Commissioner (EC) Begum Rashida Sultana has said that they didn’t notice any irregularity in the CCTV cameras.

“I went to Dhaka's Banani Bidyaniketan polling centre and saw law enforcement personnel. The election environment has been good so far. No irregularities were identified in the CCTV cameras,” she said while talking to media at the Election Commission building in Agargaon area after monitoring Dhaka-17 by-election for four hours, reports UNB.

She said, “We have also seen low voter turnout. This may be because it’s a posh area, so voters may not be that interested… We'll identify the reasons later.”

Responding to a claim that a journalist was forced to leave the centre, Rashida Sultana said, “Presiding officer pulled out a journalist as he had a phone with him. Action was taken over this.

However, I saw many journalists during my visit,” she added.

While talking about an independent candidate boycotting the by-polls, Rashida Sultana said, “He could have seen it till the end. He boycotted the election in the morning, and could not see what happened in the end.”
