Awami League central leaders on Sunday held a meeting with Gazipur district leaders to ensure the ruling party’s victory in the Gazipur City Corporation polls slated for May 15. According to party sources, Awami League leaders and lawmakers of Gazipur have been at loggerheads for a long time. Due to the internal feuds, three party nominated candidates had lost in the district’s union level election recently. After that, central leaders feared that Awami League’s mayoral candidate Jahangir Alam will lose if the leaders and activists in Gazipur city do not work together before and during the polls, sources said. They figured that Jahangir’s defeat would heavily demoralize the party activists before the general election, which is only eight months away.
