Narayanganj city corporation elections were held in a free, fair and peaceful manner, Narayanganj-4 lawmaker Shamim Osman said on Sunday.
He said that voting in such a peaceful environment was a big achievement for the administration.
After casting his vote at the last moment after 3 pm Shamim said that even the candidates were satisfied with the voting.
“Saying the election is turbulent has become a fashion of the media” he remarked.
Replying to a question Shamim said, “For my whole life I have worked for the symbol of the Awami League, not for the candidates and it’s not different this time either.”
“I am a soldier of Sheikh Hasina and she is my idol. I should be able to digest all the pain like her but I can’t do it every time. Hopefully Awami League will win a landslide in the NCC polls.”
The voting started at 8am and ended at 4 pm.
Seven candidates are running for the post of the NCC mayor including ruling party nominee Selina Hayat Ivy and her principal rival independent Advocate Taimur Alam Khandaker, who recently lost his post as an adviser to BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia.
Ivy cast her ballot at Deubhog Kalarab polling center around 9:30 am while Taimur cast his vote at Masdair Islamia Fazil Madrasa around 10 am.
Besides, 148 candidates are contesting for 27 ward councilors post while 38 women are contesting for conserved seats for women in the NCC polls.
This time the number of enlisted voters was 517,357, including 257,519 females and 42,418 first-timers.
