A mayor candidate in the Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) elections has urged the chief election commissioner to ensure electoral rules abiding scenario in the race.
Helena Jahangir made the urge through an application placed to CEC Kazi Rakibuddin Ahmed in the commission yesterday afternoon.
In the letter, Helena said: “It has been noticed that many candidates in the DNCC polls are using their party identity. Even the political parties have announced their backing for them openly breaching the electoral law.”
“As per the rule, there is no scope to use party identity in the elections. But many aspirants are violating the electoral code of conduct,” she continued.
