Dhaka, Oct 30 — Ruling party-backed Narayanganj mayor candidate Shamim Osman has gone behind the closed doors.
Until 9pm on Sunday, there was no reaction from him on the progress of polls results, which started trickling in from around 6.15pm.
Shamim entered his Jamtala home in the afternoon and has been off the radar since then. When attempts were made to contact him, reporters were told he would not speak to anyone and may hold a press conference on Monday.
The police vehicle accompanying Shamim also left around 9pm.
Shamim last spoke to the press around 4pm. He had in a vehement reaction alleged that a faction of his own party was rigging the polls to ensure his defeat.
At that point, the returning officer had announced the results of 40 polling centres in which Shamim's rival Selina Hayat Ivy was leading him by a massive margin of nearly three times.
