Zayed Khan also won the appeal, Nipun’s press conference on Sunday

Actor Nipun Akhter did not win even after appealing. Zayed Khan has also been declared the winner by the Appellate Division of the Film Artists Association.

This was announced by the Chairman of the Appellate Division Sohanur Rahman Sohan after recounting the votes for the post of General Secretary on Saturday (January 29) evening.

Earlier, Nipun Akhter, a rival candidate, expressed dissatisfaction over the announcement of Zayed Khan as the general secretary of Shilpi Samiti. Votes are then recounted if the results of the election are challenged and appealed.

Speaking to reporters at the FDC on Saturday (January 29) afternoon, Nipun complained, “I have been uncooperative. How did I lose 16 votes? Once I cast this vote, I will win by 2 votes. I want to say another thing, the administration has not cooperated with me. 

It is learned that Ilias Kanchan, Nipun Akter, Zayed Khan and Joy Chowdhury were also present with the Appellate Division during the recount.

Sohanur Rahman Sohan, chairman of the election appeal board, confirmed this matter. He said 26 votes were lost in the editorial board. Of these, Nipun got 14 votes. The rest is Zayed.

Meanwhile, the defeated candidate Nipun has called a press conference to talk about various inconsistencies around the election. Her close aide Liton Ershad has confirmed that he will hold a press conference at the Press Club on Sunday at 3.30 pm.  

Voting for the Shilpi Samiti will be held at FDC on Friday (January 26) from 9:12 am to 6:10 pm. The results were then officially announced on Saturday (January 29) at 8 am.
