Ruling Awami League has finalised an initial list of its candidates for the 11th Parliamentary Election and will announce the final names at the media briefing.
“Draft of AL’s nomination list is nearly finalised,” said AL Presidium member Dr Abdur Razzak.
Razzak, one of AL’s Parliamentary Board members, said, “After discussing with the allies, the name of AL’s and 14-party Alliance’s candidates will be announced simultaneously.”
The party is yet to set a date for the media call as its President and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will decide it upon finalising the list.
According AL sources said the party may give its candidates at 230 to 235 constituencies with leaving the rest of the 300 parliamentary seats for the allies.
Bargain over seat distribution among the allies is yet to reach a conclusion, 14-party Alliance sources said.
