Politics and PR

The Narayanganj mayoral elections have turned into a proxy-war between the two candidates. The ruling party has repeatedly discussed nomination issues in the name of 'support' to candidates. Despite the EC's meek warnings regarding codes of conduct in the mayoral elections, AL's acting general secretary recently reiterated his statement of 'legitimate' party support for a certain candidate. Given the sophistication of politics and PR in today's world, the party by distancing itself from the claim and/or 'pretending' to be abiding by the rules would have sent a positive signal to the citizens. It certainly could have made the EC look better.
