Awami League will nominate candidates for 48 seats out of the total 50 reserved for women in the 12th parliament.
A team of Awami League led by party’s organizing secretary and whip of the parliament Abu Sayeed Al Mahmood Swapon on Wednesday handed over a letter, signed by party’s general secretary Obaidul Quader, to the election commission secretary Jahangir Alam on behalf of 14-party alliance and independent lawmakers.
On Sunday, independent MPs, during a meeting with Awami League President Sheikh Hasina, left the decision of nominating independent candidates for reserved seats in the hands of the premier.
The ruling party’s office secretary Barrister Biplab Barua and deputy office secretary Sayem Khan, among others, accompanied the whip.
