Latif Siddique likely to contest polls as independent candidate

TANGAIL, Nov 26 (UNB): Former minister Abdul Latif Siddique on Sunday hinted that he is likely to contest the upcoming parliamentary elections from Tangail-4 (Kalihati) constituency as an independent candidate.

The suspended Awami League leader came up with the remarks at a press conference at his house on Sunday.

The formal decision will be disclosed after November 27, he said. November 28 is the last date for submitting nominations to the Election Commission.

"The nation is familiar with the leaders of Jatiya Oikya Front very well. Everyone knows what Oikya Front's BNP did while in power. People won't be benefitted by them," he said.
