Re-voting in three election centres in Brahmanbaria-2 seat is being held on Wednesday (Jan 9).
Voting at the centers of Ashuganj Upazila’s Jatrapur Government Primary School, Bahadurpur Government Primary School and Sohagpur South Government Primary School will continue from 8am to 4pm.
The Election Commission suspended voting at the centres due to polls-related violence and irregularities.
The 11th parliamentary election was held in 299 out of 300 constituencies on Dec 30.
The number of voters is 10,574 votes in the three polling centres.
BNP candidate Abdus Sattar with the ‘paddy sheaf’ symbol won 82,723 votes and his nearest rival independent candidate Md Moin Uddin with the ‘banana symbol’ bagged 72,564 votes, according to the results of the 129 centres.
Since the margin of votes between them is 10,159 — less than the total 10,574 votes under the three election centres, the Election Commission called for a re-voting.
In case of 100 percent turnout in the polling centres, BNP’s Sattar Bhuiyan needs 208 votes while Moin requires 10,367 votes to win the election.
