Islami Chhatra Shibir’s Vice President candidate Sadik Kayem on Tuesday called on all candidates and voters to act responsibly to ensure a free and fair Ducsu election.
He made the comments in response to a reporter's question regarding alleged violations of the election code of conduct by a certain group.
"Through this election, the spirit of the July Movement will prevail," he added.
Sadik also urged students to support the candidates of their choice, saying: “Through this election, we want to establish a positive democratic transition.”
Earlier in the day, he cast his vote at the Udayan Uchacha Madhyamik Biddalaya polling centre around 8:30am.
Voting that began at 8am will continue until 4pm at eight polling centers.
