The Election Commission (EC) has ordered the committee concerned to reinvestigate the CCTV footage of 94 polling centres in Gaibandha-5 by-election, which were postponed on 12 October due to irregularities.
Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Kazi Habibul Awal disclosed the matter while addressing a press conference at the EC secretariat in Dhaka.
"Our decision is that apart from the 52 postponed centres in the by-polls, we haven't given any decision for or fully monitored the rest 94 centres. We have decided that a committee will check our CCTV footage and give an observation report on it," the CEC said.
