Jatiya Party Chairman Hussain Muhammad Ershad has called off aspirants’ interview halfway after it began on Tuesday (Nov 20).
The interviews started on Tuesday at the Emmanuelle’s Convention Centre.
Erhsad asked the leaders to have faith in him.
Around 1:15pm Jatiya Party Senior Co-Chairman Raushan Ershad, Co-Chairman GM Quader, General Secretary ABM Ruhul Amin Hawlader and Kazi Firoz Rashid were seen leaving the venue.
Earlier Ershad’s Deputy Press Secretary Khandaker Delwar Jalali said, “The interviews will continue all day on Tuesday.”
As many as 2865 aspirants purchased nomination forms from Jatiya Party.
On Tuesday, 780 among them were called to face the party’s interview board.
Ershad also told party leaders that he will pick the candidates for all the constituencies later.
GM Quader told Bangla Tribune after leaving the venue, “Chairman Sir said that it’s not possible to interview all these candidates in one day. He will pick the candidates by himself and will nominate whoever he considers to be the right candidate.”
“We supported his decision” Quader added.
