Tabith: Will start campaigning after receiving BNP nomination

Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) executive committee member Tabith Awal has said he will start campaigning for Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) by-polls after receiving nomination from the party. He made the statement to reporters after submitting his nomination form on Monday. He said: "I have submitted the form for the nomination. I am proud because of the system the party has introduced this time offering equal opportunities to both veteran and novice politicians." ”May be the party will decide the nominated member tonight and I am hopeful that I will be nominated,” he added. Tabith submitted his nomination form to BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi at the party office. According to Tabith, the 20-party alliance supported him in the last election and he received a huge response from the people but the result was not as expected. He hopes that the people who could not cast vote last time will attend this year's by-polls and elect him. On Sunday, five BNP leaders collected nomination forms from the party office to run for the DNCC mayor's office.The article was first published on Bangla Tribune
