EC issues show cause notice to Shakib

The Election Commission (EC) has issued a show cause notice to the Awami League-nominated candidate for the Magura-1 constituency Shakib Al Hasan for breaching the electoral code of conduct.

Shakib was summoned to meet the Magura-1 election search committee in person and reply to the notice on Friday afternoon.

According to the notice signed by the committee's head and Sessions Judge Satyabrata Shikder, Shakib Al Hasan entered Magura City with a convoy from the Kamarkhali area on November 29 and joined civic receptions, disrupting traffic on the road.

Through such actions, he has breached the electoral code of conduct. Shakib was asked to reply in writing as to why legal action should not be taken against him.
