UNB, Dhaka :
The Ruling Awami League may induct many new faces in its next central committee to be formed through the party’s council as it is apparently eager to pass the torch to its next generation of leaders.
The 21st national council of the party is likely to be held in October this year, AL sources said.
Senior leaders to grassroots-level activists across the country are eagerly waiting for the Awami League council to see their new leaders.
They are actively attending various party programmes as well as closely communicating with other leaders to grab the post of party general secretary.
The recent illness of current general secretary Obaidul Quader has increased
the possibility of a newly elected leader for the post, according to party insiders.
Many party senior leaders said that it will be tough for Quader to maintain the general secretary post as well as the ministry as he will need more time to recover.
A presidium member who wished to remain anonymous said it will be a wise decision for Quader to take a long break from these responsibilities.
He added that the change can bring something good for the party.
The much-discussed issue over the council is regarding the post of general secretary as everyone is guessing whether Obaidul Quader will be retained or replaced.
The two joint secretaries and two organizational secretaries are the most possible candidates; they were not nominated for the 11th parliamentary election race for monitoring the polls.
Joint general secretaries Abdur Rahman and Jahangir Kabir Nanak and organisational secretaries BM Mozamel Haque and AFM Bahauddin Nasim were said to be four aspirant leaders.
Joint secretary general Abdur Rahman said their party leaders are waiting for the Awami League Council eagerly.
“Our leaders are eagerly waiting for the council. Party President Sheikh Hasina has already expressed her consent for the party council at the end of the year as she wants to hold the council in time,” he said.
Abdur Rahman also said, “We’ll start our activity in full swing for the council after the upazila elections. The announcement of the council has brought a festive mood among the leaders.”
