[ALOCHONA] RPO, party constitution overlooked

 
Awami League (AL) has ignored electoral laws and its own constitution to pick up some of its contenders in the upcoming parliamentary polls, rejecting proposals from grassroots level party committees in those constituencies.

As per the Representation of People Order (RPO), the AL Parliamentary Board (ALPB) must select party candidates in the national election from the list prepared by the grassroots committees. The AL incorporated the mandatory RPO provision in its constitution to qualify for getting registered with the EC.

But the ALPB headed by party chief Sheikh Hasina yesterday gave party tickets to some contenders in the December 18 polls who are not on the panels made by the grassroots.

Besides complying with the other clauses relating to registration, a political party must have specific provision in its constitution for nomination of candidates from panels jointly prepared by ward, union, thana, upazila and district committees concerned for different constituencies.

Registration of a political party may be cancelled for violation of the provision. The panel made by grassroots committees named only Sultan Mohammad Mansur as contestant from Maulavibazar -2 constituency. But the ALPB nominated Atiur Rahman Shamim.

Such committees recommended only Prof Abu Sayeed for Pabna-1 constituency but the ALPB picked up Abdul Haque Tuku.

Rejecting the grassroots' recommendations, the ALPB nominated Hamida Banu Shobha for Nilphamari-1, Abul Hashem for Laxmipur -3, Manowar Hossain Chowdhury for Gaibandha-4 and Golam Mawla Roni for Patuakhali-3 constituencies.

Sources pointed out that Sayeed and Mansur were vocal for party reforms.
