Bangladesh National Party (BNP) on Monday claimed that Hasina Wajid's constituency in Golalganj-3—a vote center has a total of 3,323 voters—but, the total number of votes cast as officially shown was 3,332.
BNP claimed that nine additional voters voted than the official voter list.
In a post on X, BNP said: "In another center, total eligible voters are 2,303 and 100% people cast the votes. After all it's her constituency, so authorities are compelled to show high voter turnout. The only problem it went above 100%. But again it's Hasina & Awamilegue."
“It's their election drama! Vote counting or math - are not relevant,” BNP said.
