Dhaka, Mar 08 (V7N) – Two Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) candidates have filed cases in the High Court challenging the results of the Dhaka-4 and Dhaka-16 constituencies in the 13th National Parliament election, alleging vote rigging.

The cases were filed by Aminul Haque, candidate for Dhaka-16, and Tanvir Ahmed, candidate for Dhaka-4.

A single election bench led by Justice Md. Zakir Hossain is scheduled to hear the two cases on Sunday (March 8).

According to court sources, this special High Court bench was formed to hear election petitions related to electoral irregularities under Section 49 of the Representation of the People Ordinance (RPO).

Earlier, the bench had ordered the custody of ballot papers and result sheets for constituencies involved in petitions filed by 8 BNP candidates, 7 Jamaat-e-Islami candidates, and 1 independent candidate alleging irregularities in the 13th National Parliament election. The hearings of Dhaka-4 and Dhaka-16 petitions continue as part of this process.
