Speaking to reporters at the party’s Bangabandhu Avenue headquarters on Monday, Quader, the road transport and bridges minister, pledged full government support for fair elections. The Awami League has nominated outgoing mayor Atiqul Islam as its candidate for Dhaka North City Corporation mayor and former MP Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh for the South. The opposition party is doubtful about the Election Commission’s ability to deliver fair polls. Quader said the Awami League always wants impartially organised elections that cannot be questioned. “Why can’t the Awami League general secretary take part in election campaign while the BNP secretary general can do it?” he asked.
