The commission suspended the results of the mayoral polls in one of the 24 municipalities that went into elections on Monday after the death of a candidate. The Election Commission has said that the Monday’s election has been successful despite the BNP’s rejection of the results over alleged fraud. The Awami League candidates bagged 18 mayor’s posts while two went to the BNP and three others to independent candidates. “Overall, the election was good. It’s been a successful election," EC secretary Md Alamgir said after the election while expressing satisfaction over the turnout.
