As the excitement of the 12th general election fade, people in Cumilla geared up for the upcoming by-election for the mayoral post in the Cumilla City Corporation, reports bdnews24com
Former mayor Monirul Haque Sakku, an expelled BNP leader, announced he will run for the post. He will face stiff competition from expelled Swechchha Sebak Dal leader Nizam Uddin Kaiser.
Half a dozen Awami League leaders are preparing to contest the by-election and have already taken to the field. The list of contestants, however, has yet to be finalised.
The ruling party Awami League decided not to allocate the party's boat symbol to any candidates in the city corporation by-poll. The same decision will be in place for the Mymensingh City Corporation election as well.
