AL-backed mayoral candidates seek votes from people

Awami League-backed mayoral candidate of Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) Syed Khokon requested the voters on Friday to elect him mayor.  
"I am a young man. I can work for you (voters). Please vote for me," he said to the voters while campaigning at New Market kitchen market on the day.
He distributed leaflets among the people and requested them to elect him by casting votes for hilsa fish. The DSCC and DNCC polls will be held on April 28.
