National Citizen Party (NCP) Convener and Jamaat-led alliance candidate for Dhaka-11 constituency Nahid Islam cast his vote early in the morning and urged all to come to polling centres to cast their votes.
He cast his vote at the A K M Rahmatullah University College here at Badda.
Responding to a media query after casting his vote, Nahid said, “I have cast my very first vote without any interruption. I urge all my countrymen to vote for the restoration of democracy.”
In another response, he said, “Some untoward incidents took place last night across the country. Some people were trying to create a tense environment. We are not focusing on those incidents that much because we don’t want any altercation. We want people to come and vote.”
“We expect that the whole voting process will be transparent and fair,” he added.
He also expressed determination that the 11-party alliance will form the government if everything remains fair and transparent.
Asked whether he is ready to accept the other fate, Nahid said, “If the election is fair and transparent, we are ready to accept whatever people decide for us. But the election must be fair.”
Earlier, he arrived at the centre at 7:50 am.
