The BNP-led 20-party alliance on Tuesday formed a coordination committee, excluding Jamaat-e-Islami, to carry out election campaign in favour of BNP’s mayor candidate in Narayanganj City Corporation (NCC) polls.
Jatiya Party (Kazi Zafar) Secretary General Mostofa Jamal Haider has been made Coordinator of the committee with Bangladesh NAP Secretary General Golam Mostafa Bhuiyan as Member-Secretary.
BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir announced the committee after a meeting of the alliance at BNP’s Naya Paltan office. The general secretaries of all the partners attended the meeting.
Mirza Fakhrul said, the committee has been formed sans any representative of the Jamaat-e-Islami as the party did not send any name on its behalf. He said the coordination committee has been divided into three groups. Bangladesh Kalyan Party (BKP), Bangladesh-NAP, Bangladesh Jatiya Party (BJP), NDP and Democratic League (DL) are in the first group.
The second group comprises Jatiya Party (Kazi Zafar), JAGPA, NPP, People’s League, Labour Party and Bangladesher Samyabadi Dal.
Jamiat-e-Ulama-e-Islam, Islami Oikya Jote, Khelafat Majlish, Islamic Party, NAP-Bhashani and Bangladesh Muslim League are in the third group.
The BNP Secretary General said, the alliance leaders will start campaigning in favour of BNP mayor candidate Advocate Sakhawat Hossain Khan from December 10.
They will also distribute leaflets in favour of Sakhawat Hossain, the BNP leader added, saying he will surely win the NCC polls if a fair election is held.
