[ALOCHONA] CBd, USA appreciates EC for listening its call

I do appreciate Election Commission (EC) in Bangladesh for listening my personal call/email to look after these disputed UpaZilla election results.  This is the first step within the Democratic process and EC is upholding people's choice/vote.

EC withholds 44 upazila polls results

by priyo.com | February 4, 2009 - 9:40pm
Among the polls in 62 districts, the Election Commission on Wednesday forwarded the list containing results of 426 upazilas to the Government Printing Press for publication in the official gazette, keeping election results of 44 upazilas withheld.
 
The EC will gradually send the upazila election results from two districts -- Feni and Laxmipur -- to the press after approval of the commission.
 
The 44 upazilas where results are withheld: Gazaria (Munshiganj), Kishoreganj (Nilphamari), Jagannathpur (Sunamganj), Islampur and Madarganj (Jamalpur), Kaliganj (Gazipur), Daulatpur (Manikganj), Pakundia (Kishoreganj), Muladi and Mehendiganj (Barisal), Saghata and Gaibanda Sadar (Gaibandha), Barura, Muradnagar, Daudkandi, Chandina, Nangalkot and Chouddagram (Comilla), Keraniganj (Dhaka), Dighinala (Khagrachhari), Raipura (Narsingdi), Fatikchhari (Chittagong), Kachua (Chandpur), Ukhia and Teknaf (Cox's Bazar), Morelganj and Sharankhola (Bagerhat), Nesarabad and Zianagar (Pirojpur), Belkuchi, Ullapara and Chouhali (Sirajganj), Ajmiriganj (Habiganj), Banchharampur, B'baria Sadar, Ashuganj and Kasba (B'Baria), Atpara and Netrakona Sadar (Netrakona), Harinakunda (Jhenidah), Araihazar (Narayanganj), Madaripur Sadar, and Nandail and Bhaluka (Mymensingh).
 
Talking to the reporters today (Wednesday), EC senior assistant secretary M Abdul Baten said the results of the remaining two upazilas would be forwarded to the press for publication in the gazette after approval by the commission.
 
The Election Commission is busy looking into the alleged irregularities and complaints filed against the upazila elections. As the allegations are quite large in number, there is a delay in sending the results for publication in the gazette.

Subject: Cancel Disputed Upazilla Election Results NOW

I like to reiterate that if AL wants to regain its trust among general people,  they need to ask EC to cancel all Upazilla election results at the disputed areas.  More than 50% election results should be canceled based on the reports from the ground.
 
I like to remind that total setup by AL in Upazilla election in Munshigonj areas won't be acceptable.  AL thought that this is the only Goldmine left for them since Padma Bridge will be built and will able to maximize their corrupt money with this election setup in that areas.  Since I am from that area and I can speak more with facts and ground reports for this case.
 
This is the high time for AL to be credible for the next 5 years.  They should cancel all Upazilla election results from these areas as soon as possible.  AL was so greedy that  one case AL dished your own 25 yrs honest veterans leader  from this area and failed him with vote rigging and set-up since he won't allow any corruption in that areas for Padma Bridge.
 
Before your mask gets out to the public, it's your own benefit to make it honest, make it better and make it right NOW.
 
I will keep pressuring AL/EC to cancel these disputed results until you fix it yourself.  If you do not do, your credibility will be worst soon.  I will work to save poor people wealth and their future in that areas.
 
I hope someone in AL is listening my call.  God bless poor people in that areas.
 
 
Regards,
M. M. Chowdhury (Mithu)

The Election Commission (EC) today suspended the polls results of seven upazilas in line with the allegations of massive irregularities during the polling.
 
The upazilas are Banchharampur in Brahmanbaria, Araihazar in Narayanganj, Teknaf in Cox's Bazaar, Kaliganj in Gazipur, Mehendiganj in Barisal, Muradnagar in Comilla and Raipura in Narsingdi, Election Commissioner M Sakhawat Hussein said.
 
The election commissioner said a judicial inquiry committee will be formed to investigate the allegations and a final decision will be taken after the committee files its report.
On a query he said, "Legal steps will be taken against the lawmakers accused of exerting political influence in the January 22 upazila elections ."
 
On the election day, the EC called off elections to Brahmanbaria Sadar, Ramganj in Laxmipur, Barura in Comilla and Belkuchi in Sirajganj while polling of Dighinala (Khagrachari) and Ukhia (Cox's Bazaar) had been put off before the voting day.
The commissioner said the judicial inquiry committee will also investigate the irregularities in the upazilas where elections were postponed.
 
Re-election in these six upazilas would be held sometime soon, Sakhawat added.
