Fatikchari representative: Nomination forms of independent candidates of Chittagong-2 (Fatikchari) constituency, Awami League leader Mohammad Shahjahan, independent candidates Mohammad Golam Nowsher and Mohammad Riaz Uddin have been cancelled.
In the conference room of Chittagong Deputy Commissioner and Returning Officer’s office, their nomination papers were declared canceled in the process of scrutiny of nomination papers this Sunday morning.
If you want to be an independent candidate, you have to submit the signature of 1 percent of the total voters of your constituency along with the nomination paper.
But the nomination papers were canceled as the voter’s signatures submitted by the said candidates were ‘defective’, said returning officer, Deputy Commissioner Abul Basar Mohammad Fakhruzzaman.
When asked, Upazila Election Officer Arun Uday Tripura said, “The nomination papers of 3 people in Phatikchari have been canceled due to the problem with the voter’s signature.”
