He acknowledged that voters showed their backing by waiting in long lines to cast their ballots. In a video message posted on his Facebook page on Saturday (14 February), he said, “Voters waited for a long time at the polling stations and supported me. I sincerely thank each of them.” Reflecting on the most stressful moment of election day, Mirza Abbas said he became worried when he heard reports that ballots in some centers in his favor were being canceled. “That was the moment of greatest concern,” he noted. Speaking about his patience, he added, “I felt that Allah was testing my patience. In the end, patience paid off, though the process was very difficult.” On the election environment, he remarked that elections should be a celebration, not a battlefield. “However, some turned it unnecessarily conflict-ridden, simply to highlight themselves,” he said. Regarding nationwide interest in the Dhaka-8 results, he explained that as a BNP Standing Committee member, people were especially curious about his race. “People did not expect the level of abuse I faced publicly, so many were waiting for the results,” he added. He denied using any special strategies, saying, “I did not adopt any tactics. However, someone tried to create a narrative against me to highlight themselves, which was a deceptive tactic.” He also noted that while it may have been his opponent’s first election, he has participated in many elections and faced strong contenders before. “This election turned out to be somewhat exceptional,” he concluded.
