Gazipur city polls campaign begins

Staff Correspondent, Gazipur: The Awami League and the BNP-backed mayoral aspirants began on Monday their official campaign for the upcoming Gazipur City Corporation (GCC) polls scheduled to be held on 26 June.

AL-backed candidate Jahangir Alam earlier collected his symbol ‘boat’ and BNP-backed Hasan Uddin Sarker collected his symbol ‘paddy stack’ from the regional election commissioner Rakibuddin Mandol.

Gazipur Peshajibi Somonnyo Parishad will hold an exchange of views meeting at Gazipur Press Club at 11:00am on 20 June (Tuesday).

On 6 May, the High Court stayed the Gazipur City Corporation election which was scheduled to be held on 15 May.

The election commission (EC) later on 13 May set 26 June to hold the Gazipur City Corporation polls after the upper court suspended the stay order.
