The BNP has announced its list of candidates in 206 constituencies for the upcoming general election, slated for December 30.
BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir announced the names of the candidates during a press briefing at the BNP chairperson’s Gulshan office in Dhaka on Friday.
Candidates for the rest of the seats – 94 – will be decided after discussion with its allies, he added.
“We have announced the names of only BNP candidates today,” Fakhrul told at the press briefing. “The names of candidates in other seats will be announced tomorrow [Saturday], after they are finalized by the 20-party alliance and Jatiya Oikya Front.”
Fakhrul also reiterated the party’s demand to have chief Khaleda Zia released from jail.
“We want our chairperson, Khaleda Zia, to be released. As a part of our democratic movement, we are participating in this election despite the obstacles. We want to ensure a democratic and peaceful country. We also demand immediate release of all arrested BNP leaders and activists,” he said.
After Friday’s announcement, the rest of BNP leaders whose nominations were approved by the Election Commission have until Sunday to withdraw their nomination applications for the election.
