Opposition-backed Ahsan Habib Kamal has been unofficially elected Mayor of Barisal City Corporation after he comprehensively beat Awami League-backed Shawkat Hossain Hiran by more than 17000 votes.
Kamal, who contested with ‘pineapple’ symbol, has pulled 83,751 votes while his nearest rival Shawkat Hossain Hiran with ‘television’ symbol, bagged 66,761 votes.
The results were announced from the Presiding Officer’s office at C&B Road in Barisal city since around 10:30pm.
Mammudul Haque Khan Mamun, Joint Convenor of Juba League’s metropolitan unit, is also in the fray with an electoral symbol of ‘pen and inkpot’.
Voting at one centre in Barisal was suspended for an hour after supporters of two rival mayoral candidates engaged in a brawl.
Witnesses said Hiran and Kamal were present during the clash at ward no-24 on Rupatali Government Primary School premises
