Processions and processions are found in different areas. Miking for voting is going on in the area along with banners and posters. Children and teenagers were also present in the election campaign.
On Friday (January 14) at 10 am, two heavyweight candidates. Dr. Selina Hayat Ivy (Awami League nominee) and Taimur Alam Khandaker (Independent) held press conferences. Other mayoral and councilor candidates have campaigned at the same time. Councilor candidates are going door-to-door with voters. They are wanting blessings and votes.
Dr. Selina Hayat Ivy held a huge road rally and procession at 3 o'clock. Thousands of people including central leaders and activists, district and metropolitan Awami League leaders and activists participated in the procession.
Dr. Selina Hayat Ivy urged the voters to vote for the boat symbol to continue the trend of development. Dr. Ivy went door to door with the promise to make the ongoing work dynamic.
Ivy said victory was assured if there was no violence or chaos at the polls. My trust is in the people. Leaders can come, they can camp, they can observe. But they set me free. I was with the voters all the time. 'All sides of the house and outside have matched. Thinking about how I can be defeated by chaos.
“Give me a chance for five years more,” Ivy added. Many things can happen at any time. I am willing to accept death for you. I did not look at the world. I hope you will not return me empty handed.
Independent candidate Taimur Alam Khondoker, on the other hand, campaigned at the port with a huge showdown from 3 pm.
Taimur Alam Khondoker is promising development to the common men in the coming days. At the same time, he is criticizing the development activities of the former mayor. He said the city has not been urbanized as planned. The idea in the minds of the people is that the Election Commission is a joke. They are walking that path. Even then I want to have confidence in the Election Commission. He also said that the guests of the ruling party were trying to influence the election. Taimur Alam Khondoker brought various allegations in the last minute campaign. Fear is working inside him about the election environment.
Islamic Movement's mayoral candidate Mufti Masum Billah has staged a huge show-down in the city with the ‘Fan’ symbol. Voters are going door to door.
Mufti Masum Billah said the people are determined to win the Islamic forces this time. Insha Allah, victory will be ours if we can vote properly as the tide of people has been created.
In the afternoon, Khelafat Majlis mayoral candidate ABM Sirajul Mamun announced the election manifesto with 14 promises. Later he made a huge public connection with the ‘Wall clock’ symbol.
Sirajul Mamun said, "We are hopeful that the voters will support us in building a beautiful and clean city for justice, fairness and welfare of the people." I would like to request the esteemed voters of Narayanganj City to support our wall ‘clock brand’ and continue the trend of development of Narayanganj.
Councilor candidates have also been busy campaigning. Candidates are going door to door with their respective brands. They are seeking blessings and votes.
However, Narayanganj-4 MP Shamim Osman was in the top discussion during the 18-day campaign. Government party candidate Dr. Selina Hayat Ivy and general people alleged that it was Shamim Osman who made Taimur Alam Khondoker to contest the poll. Ivy said that Taimur Alam Khondoker is the candidate of 'Godfather' Shamim Osman. Central Awami League presidium member Jahangir Kabir Nanak also said in a statement, "We will not allow the ‘Boat’ to sink in the future because ‘Boat’ is the symbol of Awami League and Sheikh Hasina." Despite all these allegations and under pressure, MP Shamim Osman clarified his position in a press conference on January 10. He announced that the game will be played on the 16th. He will work as a boatman. Narayanganj is a ‘boat’ base place, symbol of independence. So the boat must win in Narayanganj. However, despite promises there are still rumors about this in the city.
The campaign for Narayanganj city polls will end at midnight on Friday (January 14). Voting will take place next Sunday with a break of one day where 5 lakh 17 thousand 361 voters will cast their votes through EVM at 192 centers. An analysis is going on among the people inside and outside the party as to who is the next city father.
