Ershad's realisation  The Jatiya Party (JP) has suffered badly in the recently held municipality elections due to its participation under the grand alliance, said the party Chairman HM Ershad yesterday. JP leaders in different municipalities had stopped preparing for the election after the 19 candidates of JP were declared as nominees of the grand alliance following discussions with Awami League leaders, he said in a statement. "But, it is a matter of regret that AL-backed candidates contested the mayoral posts of 19 municipalities, leading to poor results of Jatiya party," Ershad said, adding that the rebel candidates, in most of the cases, were also responsible for the defeat of the grand alliance-backed candidates. The recent election has proved once again that party decision can not be executed in the local government election, he said while giving his observation over the polls. The high price of essentials was another reason the grand alliance-backed candidates could not succeed in the polls, he observed. The results, at least in half of the municipalities, did not come in favour of the grand alliance, as it failed to ensure single candidate in almost all the municipalities, he added. |
