"I am grateful to the people of my country for the fact that we have been able to organise a fair election amid many obstacles," she added.

"Despite the obstacles, the people of the country have become aware of their right to vote and understood the importance of elections. People will vote as they wish. We have managed to create an environment for voting."

Referring to the recent incidents of vandalism, the prime minister also said, "BNP and Jamaat alliances have caused many incidents of arson. "From burning trains to burning cars, barricading people, bombings, throwing cocktails - they have done all the heinous things.

"I will say only this, they do not believe in democracy, nor do they want the welfare of the people of the country. They don't want a democratic system."

The prime minister arrived at the polling centre along with her younger sister Sheikh Rehana, daughter Saima Wazed and Sheikh Rehana's son Radwan Mujib Siddiq at 7:55 in the morning.
