AL's victory rally on January 19

The ruling Awami League will hold a grand rally in the capital's Suhrawardy Udyan on January 19 to celebrate the party's landslide victory in the December 30 polls.

The programme will start at 2:30pm and AL President Sheikh Hasina will be the chief guest, said a press release.

AL General Secretary Obaidul Quader called upon all leaders and activists of the party to attend the rally to make it a success.

Besides, Quader will hold a joint meeting with the general secretaries of the AL's different fronts and associate bodies at the party's central office on the Bangabandhu Avenue this morning.

Hasina is going to form the government for the third consecutive term as the AL-led grand alliance secured 288 out of the 298 seats in the national election. The AL itself bagged 257 seats.
