Nahid: People Will Guard Polling Centres to Elect True Representatives
The Chronify
National Citizen Party Convener Nahid Islam said voters themselves will protect polling centres from intimidation in the February 12 election. He urged door-to-door campaigning and pledged justice, good governance and solutions to Dhaka-11’s long-standing problems.
National Citizen Party (NCP) Convener Nahid Islam on Friday said attempts to spread fear and confusion after witnessing rising public support would fail, as people are determined to protect their voting rights.
“Any attempt to intimidate voters or capture polling centres will not succeed. People themselves will guard the polling centres and ensure the victory of their true representatives,” he said while addressing a brief rally during an election campaign in the Bhatar Thana area of the capital.
Earlier in the morning, Nahid Islam conducted a door-to-door campaign from 7:30am to 9:00am in support of the NCP’s election symbol Shaplakoli. He later addressed a roadside gathering on Bashtola Road near Bhatar Thana, attended by leaders and activists of the NCP, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and other partners of the 10-party alliance.
A campaign procession was also held from Bashtola towards Rampura Bridge. Nahid said electioneering would continue later in Rampura North and South.
Referring to the Dhaka-11 constituency - comprising parts of Rampura, Badda, Bhatar and Hatirjheel - Nahid Islam said the area has long suffered from extortion, crime, traffic congestion and shortages of gas and electricity. He pledged to take effective measures to address these issues if elected.
He said the NCP stands firmly against dynastic politics, discrimination and corruption, and is committed to establishing justice, good governance and genuine democracy. He urged party leaders and activists to go door to door to win public trust, ensure maximum voter turnout and support a “Yes” vote in the referendum.
Describing the upcoming election as more than a transfer of power, Nahid said it represents an opportunity to build a new political order after years of authoritarian rule, honouring the sacrifices made by students, workers and ordinary citizens during the mass uprising.
Expressing confidence, he said the 10-party alliance would secure parliamentary representation and play a decisive role in governing the country.
