Narayanganj, Oct 30– BNP-backed mayor candidate Taimur Alam Khandaker, who announced polls boycott late on Saturday night, considers himself a 'dead man' at the moment as the maiden Narayanganj City Corporation election results reach final rounds.
"I am a dead man in this result," Taimur told bdnews24.com when approached for his comment over the election results that showed Selina Hayet Ivy clearly ahead of her nearest rival Awami League-backed Shamim Osman, with him trailing far behind in vote count, at the third position.
"I gave my own sacrifice (qurbani) following my leader's (Khaleda Zia) instructions," said an apparently upset Taimur, who had to opt out of at least three electoral races mid-way earlier.
In the morning, Shamim Osman has said Taimur 'gave in' to the Jamaat-e-Islami's 'intellect'.
"It's Jamaat intellect that let down the BNP candidate," Shamim told journalists reacting to the decision of election boycott.
Shamim quipped, "He (Taimur) was buried alive because of Jamaat. He had promised not to quit before death."
Meanwhile, Ivy polled 91,924 votes at 80 centres declared until 11pm out of the 163, while Shamim polled 36,952 and Taimur 3,660.
Islami Andolon-backed candidate Atiqur Rahman Nannu Munshi maintained fourth position bagging 3,567 votes.
