Syeda Iqbal Mand Banu, mother of Dr Zubaida Rahman, cast her vote at the City College polling centre in Dhaka-10 on Thursday. Earlier in the day, Zubaida voted at Gulshan Model High School and College centre in Gulshan-2 along with her husband BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman and their daughter Zaima Rahman. After casting her vote, Zubaida went to her mother’s residence in Dhanmondi and accompanied her to the City College centre. On arrival, Iqbal Mand Banu was helped out of the vehicle and taken to the polling booth in a wheelchair. Zubaida waited in a car on the ground floor of the centre during the process. Many voters exchanged greetings with her from a distance within the security cordon, and some also took photographs. Around 2:10pm, after her mother cast her vote, Zubaida helped her back into the car. She later left the centre in a separate vehicle. During her stay at the centre, BNP-nominated candidate for Dhaka-10 Sheikh Robiul Alam and some party leaders and activists were present.
