The parliamentary board on Thursday in its second meeting discussed the nomination processes of party’s candidates in the upcoming general election rescheduled for December 30.
The meeting was held at Dhanmandi-3, political office of the party president Sheikh Hasina, and was chaired by chairman of the board Sheikh Hasina.
At a briefing after the meeting, Awami League general secretary Obaidul Quader said that the meeting initially evaluated six survey reports done by the party at different times. These documents would guide the parliamentary board in selection of the party candidates for the next general election, he added.
‘In selecting the party candidates the survey reports will play a decisive role as it will reflect the popularity of the party leaders in their respective election constituencies,’ Quader said.
‘We shall give party nomination considering his popularity and prospect for wining in the elections,’ Quader added.
