DHAKA, Jan 7, 2024 (BSS) - Awami League (AL) Office Secretary Barrister Biplab Barua today said that the turnout of voters in the 12th parliamentary election is satisfactory despite the terrorism and anti-election activities of BNP.

"Despite BNP's anti-election propaganda and attempts to create panic among the public, the voter turnout across the country is satisfactory," he said at a press conference organized at the Dhaka District AL office in city's Tejgaon area.

Noting that the acceptable presence of voters at the polling centers is a victory for democracy, he said the Election Commission (EC) and the Prime Minister had announced that the election would be neutral.

The balloting is being held in a peaceful manner in the country so far except some sporadic incidents, he said.

No vote rigging has taken place and the complaints of the anti-election evil forces are not acceptable, he added.
