Dhaka, Bangladesh Global: Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal-backed panel's vice-president candidate Abidul Islam Khan and independent candidate for the same position Umama Fatema have rejected the Ducsu election.
In a Facebook post around 2:30am today, Abidul said he anticipated "this rigged result shortly after noon. Keep the figures as you wish. I reject this planned farce."
Meanwhile, former spokesperson of the Students Against Discrimination that led last year's July mass uprising, Umama Fatema, in her Facebook post at 3:24am said, "Boycott! Boycott! I hereby reject Ducsu."
"A shamelessly rigged election. After August 5, the Dhaka University administration has brought shame upon the nation. An administration run by Shibir loyalists," she said.
They made the comments when results announced by the presiding officers until 4:00am show that Islami Chhatra Shibir-backed vice-president candidate Abu Shadik Kayem was leading the Ducsu polls in 9 out of 18 halls of Dhaka University.
