Last Round of Mayoral Election Marred by Violence: B NP over all winner  

 

Opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party-backed candidates dominated the municipality elections winning 97 mayoral positions while ruling Awami League-backed candidates won 90 seats of  242 municipalities.The staggered polls to 242 municipalities across the country ended with elections to 58 municipalities in the Chittagong and Sylhet Divisions on Tuesday amid sporadic incidents of clashes and attacks on polling centres in places. Five Jamaat-e-Islami-backed candidates, one Jatiya-Party-backed candidate, one Liberal Democratic Party-backed candidate and a rebel Jatiya Party candidates were also elected mayors.The Election Commission suspended or withheld the results of nine municipalities in three divisions — Kaliakair and Ghatail in Dhaka, Habiganj in Sylhet and Senbagh, Noakhali, Kabirhat, Nangalkot, Sonagazi and Patiya in Chittagong. 

This is an over all victory for BNP.They have come round from serious defeat in 2008 Parliament election. For Awami League it is a serious loss,they have declined in a large measure indicating policy failures of the government. For Jatiya Party also it is a total loss. It should review its policy. As for Jamaate Islami, they contested in about 40 mayoral posts, leaving all others to BNP.But they have secured only 5 seats.They have lost even in some of their rural heartlands, This they should investigate and determine their future strategy..Awami League should stop its repressive policies if they have to do better in future.BNP has to find out an honest team if they have to run the country again in future.
