The Awami League has finalized 258 candidates for the upcoming 11th parliamentary election, scheduled to take place in three weeks.
The party has left the 42 other seats to be shared among the 14-party alliance partners: 26 for Jatiya Party led by HM Ershad, five for Workers’ Party of Bangladesh, three each for Jukta Front and Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal led by Hasanul Haq Inu (JaSaD-Inu), two each for Tariqat Federation Bangladesh and Jatiya Party led by Anwar Hossain Manju (JP-Manju), and one for Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal led by ASM Abdur Rab (JSD-Rab).
Besides the ruling party candidates, 14 of the allies contest the general polls with Awami League’s boat symbol.
The Dhaka Tribune obtained a copy of the final candidate list for the Awami League-led 14-party alliance yesterday.
To ensure victory for the third consecutive term, the Awami League has nominated popular and seasoned politicians.
Even though several rebel candidates of the Awami League are in the election race – despite strong warnings of expulsion by the party top brass – the ruling party leaders hope to win the election by huge margins.
Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader said the party prepared its list of candidates after conducting six surveys with the help of law enforcement agencies and a foreign survey institute.
Awami League picked around 50 new faces to run in the polls, while 38 incumbent lawmakers were dropped.
Among them are heavyweight leaders such as joint general secretaries Jahangir Kabir Nanak and Abdur Rahman, and organizing secretaries AFM Bahauddin Nasim and BM Muzzammel Haque.
Awami League Executive Member and current Disaster Management and Relief Minister, Mofazzal Hossain Chowdhury Maya, was also denied party nomination. He had applied for nomination in the Chandpur 4 constituency.
