Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) ATM Shamsul Huda has said there would be no scope for any quarter to reject the results of the ninth parliamentary election.
“The voting has been arranged in such a way that there will be no scope for rejecting the results,” the CEC told reporters after casting his vote at the Gulshan Model School and College polling centre yesterday.
Huda along with his wife arrived at the polling centre at 10:00am and left at about 10:15am.
He said, “About 1,500 foreign and two lakh local observers are monitoring the whole election process. It will be impossible for anyone to reject the results.”
The CEC said a 75 percent turnout of voters in the polls would be good enough.
Terming the election day ‘a very happy one’ both for the Election Commission and the caretaker government, he said the election campaign, by and large, was peaceful.
Many city residents left for their hometowns and villages to cast vote spending extra money, clearly indicating that a festive election atmosphere prevails in the country.
Replying to a question, the CEC said, “As a voter, I could choose a competent candidate, a pretty good one.”
