14-party to support one contestant in each area

The Awami League-led 14-party alliance will extend support to single mayoral and councillor candidates in the ensuing city corporation polls. Support of the leader of the 14-party alliance Sheikh Hasina will be final in this regard, reports BSS.

He said, "The 14-party alliance shall remain together in the field of polls and movement as well. We have talked about the city corporation polls and talks would continue. The forces loyal to the War of Liberation and those who have taken stance against the conspiracies of BNP-Jamaat combine would remain united always. We will extend support to one candidate in each area. We will take part in the campaign for the candidates who would get support of the leader of the 14-party alliance."
