Dhaka, Feb 3 (bdnews7.blogspot.com) – The Election Commission is exploring the "shortcomings" of returning officers in submitting their Upazila election results sheets, said the chief election commissioner on Tuesday.
"The Upazila returning officers in some cases have published one set of election results at night and another in the morning." said polls chief ATM Shamsul Huda.
"The results sheets also contained shortcomings in addition and subtraction," he said.
The concerned officers would be called to the capital to explore these 'mistakes', he added.
