That may be but based on the pathetic, absurd and childish
performance of BNP under Khondakher and Hanan perhaps itis the only
natural outcome. And I don't support either AL or BNP.
BNP is a joke under Khondaker and Hanan. It is a disaster for this
great and important party. It is a disaster for Bangladesh.
If Khondaker and Delwar are the best that BNP can bring forward than
BNBP doesn't deserve to rule.
Where the heck is the real talent?

> Differences have surfaced among the AL-led alliance partners after
Workers Party politburo member Fazley Hossain Badsha withdrew
himself from the race for the Rajshahi mayoral post as Awami League
leader Khairuzzaman Liton vowed not to withdraw his nomination for
the August 4 city corporation elections.
> The alliance led by the Awami League finally selected
Khairuzzaman, instead of Badsha, as the alliance candidate for the
mayoral post.
> Badsha withdrew his nomination paper on Sunday although the
alliance at a meeting on July 9 nominated him as the alliance
candidate.
> The Awami League candidates for two other mayoral posts, in
Barisal and Sylhet, will also be facing party rivals.
> The Workers Party president, Rashed Khan Menon, in reaction to
Badsha¢s withdrawal of candidature, expressed his frustration,
saying the decision would hamper united, non-communal and democratic
politics.
> He said his party now was no longer supporting any alliance
candidates for the city corporation elections and it would make a
decision in this regard after a meeting at the party forum.
> Awami League presidium member Amir Hossain Amu, meanwhile,
hailed the Workers Party decision saying Badsha withdrew his
candidature for the sake of unity and democracy and in view of the
opinions of local alliance leaders. In reply to a query as to
whether Badsha¢s withdrawal of candidature would hamper the unity of
the AL-led alliance, he told New Age Badsha had made the decision on
his own, considering the sentiment of local leaders and it would not
hamper the alliance unity.
> The trouble for the Awami League centring on the nominations in
three out of the four city corporation polls is not over yet as
rival party candidates had not withdrawn their candidature. The
trouble deepened as the central leaders extended support for the
candidate of their choice. After Badsha¢s withdrawal of candidature,
the Rajshahi city Awami League president, Masudul Haque Dulu, still
in the mayoral race, remains a hurdle for Khairuzzaman Liton, party
insiders said.
> The party nominated city Awami League president, Badruddin
Ahmed Kamran, now in jail, for the Sylhet mayoral post.
> Awami League leaders Dewan Farid Gazi, Enamul Haque Chowdhury
Bir Pratik, Abduz Zahir Chowdhury Sufian, Iftekhar Hossain Shamim,
and Misbah Uddin Siraj withdrew their candidature in support of
Kamran. But Kamran still faces party leader Babrul Hossain Babul,
also a former Sylhet municipal chairman, in the mayoral race.
> Local sources said all the party leaders were working for
Kamran, but the followers of Awami League advisory council member
Abul Maal Abdul Muhith were supporting Babrul.
> In Khulna , the alliance nominated central Awami League AL
leader Talukdar Abdul Khaleque, also the city unit president. City
Awami League general secretary Mijanur Rahman Mijan and joint
secretary Mallik Abid Hossain Kabir withdrew their nomination papers
in support of Talukder. But he needs to face city AL leader Enayet
Ali in the race.
> Local sources said all the local leaders were extending support
for Talukder, but Enayet has a large number of followers.
> In Barisal , the party selected the city Awami League convener,
Shawkat Hossain Hiron, as the mayoral candidate, and party fellows
Alamgir Hossain Khan Alo and Mahmudul Huq Khan Mamun withdrew their
nomination papers in support of Shawkat Hossain.
> But Shawkat faces Nagarik Committee candidate Enayet Pir Khan
in the mayoral race.
> Enayet Pir is getting support from the followers of senior AL
presidium member Amir Hosain Amu as a faction backed by the party¢s
central leader Abul Hasnat Abdullah earlier supported Shawkat.
