Khaleda to decide soon over municipality polls

Staff Correspondent: BNP will very soon decide whether the party leaders will contest in the upcoming municipality elections.

 

BNP acting spokesperson Asaduzzaman Ripon on Wednesday night said that Chairperson Khaleda Zia would announce the decision and plans on this very soon.

 

He told newsmen that there are still some days left as per the polls schedule. The chairperson will certainly decide before the deadline.

 

However, it was learnt that in the meeting at the party chief`s Gulshan office in Dhaka on Wednesday night, most of the BNP leaders opined that the party will lose more if it does not participate in the municipality polls.

 

The elections to 234 municipalities across Bangladesh are scheduled to be held on Dec 30. The last date to submit nomination papers is Dec 3.

The press briefing was held at around 11pm after BNP chief held a two-hour-long meeting with the National Standing Committee and other senior leaders.

Apart from the upcoming local government election, the meeting also discussed the overall political scenario, organisational activities, national council and a revamp of the party.

It was the first meeting since Khaleda returned from London on Nov 21.
