Suranjit's wife gets AL ticket for Sunamganj polls
Awami League today nominated Joya Sengupta, wife of recently deceased senior leader Suranjit Sengupta, to contest Sunamganj-2 by-polls scheduled to be held on March 30.
On behalf of Joya, her son Suwmen Sengupta collected the nomination paper from Awami League chief Seikh Hasina’s Dhanmondi political office last Friday.
Awami League nominated Joya at a meeting in Gono Bhaban, official residence of the premier, this evening, Biplob Barua, deputy office secretary of Awami League, told The Daily Star.
The constituency (Dirai-Shalla) felt vacant following death of Suranjit Sengupta, a veteran parliamentarian, on February 5 after a prolonged illness.
Besides, Awami League’s Parliamentary Board and Local Government Nomination Board also nominated Anjum Sultana Simi for Comilla City Corporation election scheduled on the same day.
