BNP goes to digital campaign for polls

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia will seek vote for her party's candidates for the upcoming municipality polls through television and newspaper advertisements.

The newspaper insertions will have pictures of paddy sheaf – election symbol of BNP – and Khaleda Zia’s picture.

The television commercial will have a recording of Khaleda Zia's voice, seeking votes for her party's contestants.

In addition, leaflets with similar messages will be distributed, among voters, across the country.

Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, joint secretary general of the party, said they would use all possible techniques without breaking the electoral code of conduct in their electioneering.

“We have made use of digital campaigning techniques before, but we are now doing this on a large scale.”
