City polls: Vote counting underway

Update : 28 Apr 2015, 11:02 AM

Vote counting for Dhaka North City Corporation, Dhaka South City Corporation and Chittagong City Corporation is underway.

Voting in the three city city corporations has ended amid scattered incidents of vandalism and clashes.

Polling began at 8am and ended at 4pm without any interval.

Terming the ongoing city polls farcical, BNP has rejected the polls in three city corporations under Dhaka and Chittagong.

However, trashing the allegations of vote manipulation, Awami League Joint General Secretary Mahbubul Alam Hanif has said the BNP's announcement of quitting polls was preplanned.

Voting at two centres in Dhaka and one in Chittagong was suspended following vandalism and clashes.

Ten people including a presiding officer were injured in a clash between two groups of Awami League-backed councillor candidates at Kaful High School polling centre.

Journalists were allegedly barred by police personnel from entering several polling stations in Dhaka.
