In the second phase, 22 people were elected unopposed in 156 upazila elections. On May 21, the voter turnout for this phase of the of the election was 38 percent. The Election Commission came under severe criticism after the record low number of votes in the first phase. The Election Commission was optimistic that voter turnout would increase in the next phase, attributing it to five factors, including farmers&#8217; harvesting of paddy and rain. But as the desired voters were not present in the next phase as well, Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Kazi Habibul Awal mentioned the exclusion of the anti-government BNP as the main reason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Crime Desk: The third phase of polling has started in 87 upazilas of the country in the sixth upazila parishad election.
