Baralekha Municipality election on May 13

RAJAT KANTI GOSWAMI, MOULVIBAZAR
Election of Baralekha Municipality in Moulvibazar will be held on May 13.
The candidates for the post of Chairman and Commissioner have submitted nomination papers to the Returning Officer.
All the candidates who have submitted nomination papers have started wooing the general voters. They have been arranging tea parties at their respective houses or elsewhere in the town. Most of candidates have been visiting their
areas to win support of the voters.
More than one candidates from two major political parties Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and Awami League (AL) have submitted nomination papers for the post of chairman.
Baralekha upazila is a stronghold of Awami League (AL). So, BNP is searching for a candidate of chairman who is popular among the general voters.
However, local Awami League (AL) leaders informed that the party will not nominate any person for the posts of chairman and commis-
sioner, because according to him 'the ensuing election will not be free and fair. It will be a follow-up of the election in Rajshahi City Corporation (RCC)'.
A senior AL leader said that the Baralekha Municipality election will be an eye wash and BNP nominee will win there. This is because Baralekha is the constituency of Advocate Ebadur Rahman Chowdhury, State Minister for Relief and Disaster Management, the AL leader added.
Eleven candidates have submitted nomination papers for the post
of chairman while 45 candidates for nine seats of Ward Commissioners and six candidates for three reserved seats of women commissioners, according to the Returning Officer.
