Upazila Parishad elections: 25 candidates win uncontested

In the first phase of upazila parishad elections scheduled for May 8, a total of 25 candidates, including 6 chairmen, have been elected unopposed across several upazilas. These uncontested winners include chairmen, vice-chairmen, and female vice-chairmen from upazilas like Bagerhat Sadar, Munshiganj Sadar, Shibchar in Madaripur, and others. The early uncontested victories have raised questions about the electoral process, even though voting is still over two weeks away.
