The proposal was sent recently following a request from the 4-party Alliance without consulting any political party including the 14-party combine, they said.

Of the 93 centres, 28 are in Bogra-3 constituency, 20 in Bogra-4, 14 in Bogra-5, 11 in Bogra-6, 5 in Bogra 1, 4 in Bogra-7 and 7 centers in Bogra-2.

The proposal should be made on the basis of consensus of all political parties, but this was not done accordingly, DEO sources said.

In the last general election, there had been 665 polling centers in the district.

On contact, Awami League leaders in those areas said they are not aware about any such move, because they said the concerned officials did not contact them before sending the proposal to DEO.

But, administration officials of the 12 upazilas denied the allegations saying they had informed leaders of all political parties but what they said lack of response from their side.
