The National Citizens Party (NCP) candidate Nasiruddin Patwary has demanded a recount of votes, alleging irregularities in the election and its results.

Considering the overall circumstances, Nasiruddin Patwary has called for the suspension of the Dhaka-8 constituency election results, a proper investigation into the alleged irregularities and legal action against the officials found responsible.
