AL asks aspirants to collect nomination forms

The ruling Awami League has asked aspirants to collect party nomination forms for taking part in the election to Kishoreganj-1 constituency, by-poll to Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) mayoral post, and fresh election to three municipalities and 30 union parishads.

Aspirants can collect forms from the party president’s Dhanmondi
political office from 10 am to 5 pm on January 23-25 and they will have to
submit the applications after filling up properly by 5 pm on January 25, an
AL press release said today.

The Election Commission today announced the schedule of a fresh election
to Kishoreganj-1 constituency as elected candidate of the seat Syed Ashraful Islam died before taking oath.

The reschedule of the by-polls to DNCC mayoral post has also been
announced following a High Court verdict that cleared the way for holding the election to the DNCC mayoral post and polls in the 36 new wards under the DNCC and DSCC.

DNCC mayoral post fell vacant following the death of its mayor Annisul
Huq.
