The ruling Awami League has announced the candidates for the upcoming municipality elections scheduled to be held on December 30.
Party’s Joint General Secretary Mahbub-ul-Alam Hanif endorsed the information in a press briefing on Thursday.
Announcing the list of 234 AL-nominated candidates for the mayoral post of the election, he said there will be no Awami League’s rebel candidate in the election after December 13, the last date for withdrawal of candidature.
Mahbub-ul-Alam Hanif said: “If anyone violates the party’s decision will face maximum punishment, I mean expulsion, for breaking the organisational discipline,” he told journalists at the Awami League President’s Dhanmondi political office.
He said this election is being held along party line, and the nominations, signed by the party’s chief, are being given to candidates to contest the polls with the party symbol.
