JSD candidate pulls out of NCC polls
Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JSD) backed mayoral runner Moslem Uddin has withdrawn his candidature for the Narayanganj City Corporation (NCC) election.
“I have withdrawn upon request of Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader. I will extend my support to Selina Hayat Ivy,” Moslem Uddin said.
Ivy is the endorsed candidate of ruling Awami League. Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JSD), led by Minister Hasanul Haq Inu, is a component of the Awami League-led ruling coalition.
Also, 15 counsellor runners of the JSD withdrew today – the last day of withdrawing nomination, our local correspondent reports quoting Returning Officer Nuruzzaman Talukdar.
Earlier on Saturday, JSD General Secretary Shirin Akter told The Daily Star that Awami League requested her to stay away from the election.
