The BNP has reinitiated its plan to reconstitute its Dhaka city unit committee very soon, dissolving the existing one for its failure to play due role during the party’s movement against the January 5 national poll.
The party has also decided to complete upazila and district committees before holding its national council.
“The convener committee of Dhaka city unit will be announced very soon and young and dedicated people will get priority in the new committee besides the experienced ones,” a member of the party’s Standing Committee told the Dhaka Tribune yesterday.
The decisions were made at a meeting of the Standing Committee members with Chairperson Khaleda Zia at her Gulshan office last night.
The BNP leader also said they had talked about the split of the city unit but had not decided anything. “The issue will be settled after the announcement of the convener committee.”
The leader also said they had collectively decided to complete the upazila and district committees after the completion of the upazila elections on March 31.
The initiatives to reorganise the BNP and its front and associate bodies have come to a halt with no major development in the process, reportedly causing frustration among the party ranks.
On February 10, Khaleda met with the Dhaka city leaders and reportedly bashed them for their “failed roles” in staging the party’s movement against the election. She told them that the city committee would be reconstituted soon.
