The Election Commission (EC) on Wednesday directed Comilla-6 MP AKM Bahauddin Bahar to leave the constituency for violating the code of conduct in Comilla City Corporation elections.
Returning Officer Shahedunnabi Chowdhury confirmed the matter to Bangla Tribune.
On Monday, independent mayoral candidate Monirul Haque Sakku wrote a letter to the returning officer alleging the violation of the code of conduct against Bahar.
In the letter, he mentioned that local MPs are violating the code of conduct by staying in the constituency.
“The election campaign is being carried out by uniting various educational institutions, mosque-madrasa representatives and concerned leaders and activists of the Mohanagar Awami League,” Sakku said.
He added that the local MP is also conducting election activities with the leaders and activists of Sadar South and Lalmai upazilas.
The complaint further said that leaders and activists of different areas have come to the constituency and are carrying out various campaign activities including motorcycle showdown.
“This is violating the election code of conduct. In addition, as election day draws closer, panic is growing among the general public and voters,” Sakku alleged.
