10 parties pick DCCs’ mayoral candidates
Ten left-leaning political parties yesterday announced their formal support to two candidates-- M Enamul Haque and Abdullah Al Kafi Ratan-- for the mayoral run in the Dhaka South and Dhaka North city corporation polls respectively.
Leaders of the parties also agreed to create alternative left democratic alliance against the four-party coalition and grand alliance.
The decision came at a meeting among leaders of the Communist Party of Bangladesh (CPB) and Ganotantrik Bam Morcha, a coalition of nine left-leaning political parties, said a press release.
Leaders at the meeting criticised government's recent drive to evict Karail slum dwellers. The leaders called for their rehabilitation.
