Earlier, Omar Sani, the defeated presidential candidate of the recently concluded election of Bangladesh Chalochitro Shilpi Samiti, had appealed for a repeal of the results. In response to the appeal, the election commission and the appellate authorities decided to re-count the votes.
After the re-count, Omar Sani’s vote increased from 153 to 162. On the other hand, the president-elect Misha Sawdagar received 259 votes. Therefore, the results of the biennial election remain unchanged.
After announcing the results of the re-count on Tuesday, Montajur Rahman Akbar said that there has been a slight mistake in counting the votes but denied allegations of rigging the election.
Akbar also informed, “There is no point repealing the result, nor there is any option to do it.”
