Awami League Office Secretary Barrister Biplab Barua on Sunday said that the turnout of voters in the 12th parliamentary election was satisfactory despite the terrorism and anti-election activities of the BNP.
"Despite BNP's anti-election propaganda and attempts to create panic among the public, the voter turnout across the country is satisfactory," he said at a press conference organized at the Dhaka District Awami League office in the capital's Tejgaon area.

Noting that the acceptable presence of voters at the polling stations is a victory for democracy, he also said that the Election Commission (EC) and the Prime Minister had announced that the election would be neutral.
The balloting is being held peacefully in the country so far except for some sporadic incidents, he said.
No vote rigging has taken place, and the complaints of the anti-election evil forces are unacceptable, he added.
