The District returning officer of Barguna on Thursday night has withdrawn four presiding officers from election duty following protest from the BNP candidate in Barguna-2 constituency.

The withdrawn presiding officers are Khalilur Rahman, principal of Patharghata Degree College, Mojibur Rahman, principal of Patharghata Haji Jalaluddin Mohila College, Mahbubul Alam Manik, headmaster of Patharghata K M School, Khalilur Rahman Badshah, headmaster of Patharghata Keramatpur Rahmania School.

Safayet Hossain, deputy commissioner and returning officer of Barguna, said they were withdrawn from the election duty after Advocate Khondokar Mahbub Hossain, BNP candidate from Barguna-2 constituency, alleged that they participated in a election meeting with Golam Sabur Tulu, AL candidate, on Tuesday at Keramatpur Rahmania School.

Tulu, however, denied the allegation.
