Dhaka, Feb 13 —Barishal-3 (Babuganj–Muladi) candidate Barrister Fuad has congratulated his opponent, Zainul Abedin, on his electoral victory, expressing gratitude to the voters and party leaders who supported him throughout the campaign.

Voting in Bangladesh’s national election concluded on Thursday in a largely peaceful atmosphere, raising hopes of restoring genuine democracy and securing a strong mandate for national reforms.

Polling began at 7:30am and continued until 4:30pm without interruption at 42,659 polling stations across 299 of the country’s 300 constituencies, amid the deployment of nearly one million security personnel and another one million polling staff.

Alongside the parliamentary election, voters also participated in a referendum to express their views through ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ votes on proposals for several constitutional amendments. - UNB
