Partha Pratim Bhattacharjee
The Awami League yesterday "initially" agreed to give four seats to Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal and two each to Workers Party and Tarikat Federation in the general election scheduled for January 5.
The ruling party will finalise the seat-sharing with its 14-party alliance and like-minded parties in a day or two.
AL chief Sheikh Hasina will make the final choice and the final seat-sharing will depend on Jatiya Party's decision on participating in the election, sources said.
Yesterday's decision came at a meeting with some partners of the AL-led 14-party alliance and Tarikat Federation, which is not in the alliance.
From the JSD, Hasanul Haque Inu will run from Kushtia-2, Mainuddin Khan Badal from Chittagong-7, Shah Jikrul Ahmed from Brahmanbaria-5 and Shirin Akter from Feni-1, according to the decision.

The Bangladeshi authorities are obligated to investigate violence by protesters and the unlawful use of force by security forces thoroughly and impartially, and to prosecute those responsible for carrying out or ordering such acts, the organisation said.
It observed that in the past, the government has taken no action even in cases of well-documented unlawful killings by the security forces during protests.
