Induction of city mayors-elect in 3-4 months

Election Commissioner Shah Nawaz yesterday said it would take around three or four months for the mayors-elect of four city corporations to take oath after completion of all the legal and administrative procedure.
"I hope, the newly elected mayors may take oath and charges in September or October as the tenure of existing administration of these city corporations are yet to be expired," he told reporters at his office in the Election Commission Secretariat.
According to law, the mayors are supposed to take oath within one month of issuing gazette of the election results.
Mayoral elections in Rajshai, Khulna, Barisal and Sylhet cities were held on June 15. BNP-backed candidates won in all four cities.
