"We reject this result completely," Maulana Fazlur Rahman, who heads the multi-party alliance MMA, said today.

"I claim that, in the entire country, Form 45 was not given to presiding officers and polling agents," Rahman said. He also went on to claim that the polling boxes were in the army's possession after the polling process ended.

"We announce to continue our struggle for the people's mandate," he said, adding that he will try to come up with a combined plan of action with other political parties after tomorrow's All Parties Conference.
