Online Desk: Dhallywood actor and Awami League candidate for Dhaka-10, Ferdous Ahmed, cast his vote during the ongoing 12th National Parliament Election this morning.

Ferdous voted at the Bhashantek Government Primary School polling centre in the capital at 10 am.

He arrived at the centre with his wife Tania Ferdous and their two daughters, Nuzhat and Namira.

Earlier, Ferdous accompanied Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her younger sister Sheikh Rehana, daughter Saima Wazed and Sheikh Rehana’s son Radwan Mujib Siddiq at the Dhaka City College centre which falls under Dhaka-10 constituency (comprising Dhanmondi, Hazaribagh, New Market and Kalabagan).

The PM came to the polling centre before 7:55 am amid tight security and voted there.

Expressing excitement over welcoming the PM who cast her vote in the constituency, Ferdous told the media that he was overwhelmed with the beginning of the election.

“On this wonderful morning, I am ecstatic that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina came to vote for me alongside her daughter Saima Wazed. I promise to make the Dhaka-10 constituency a ‘10-on-10’, and I already got 2 out of 10 with their votes,” Ferdous said at the centre.

After casting his own vote at the Bhashantek Government Primary School centre, Ferdous exchanged greetings with the voters. “Every person in Bangladesh is eager to vote, and people from all walks of life will flock to the polls today. I believe we will win by a large margin,” the actor said.
