Tuesday, 21 October 2008
Awami League President and former premier Sheikh Hasina is likely to come home by November 7, said his lawyer Sheikh Fazle Noor Tapash Monday as her party and allies look forward to her return for cobbling them up into a grand election alliance, reports UNB.
Talking to a private television channel, Tapash also disclosed that Sheikh Hasina is expected to contest from three constituencies in the long-awaited December 18 polls.
Party sources said the constituencies are Tungipara in Gopalganj district, Beerganj in Rangpur and the third one either in Narail or Gaibandha district.
Asked about any legal barrier for Hasina to contest the polls, Tapash said the former prime minister would face no legal tangles as she was not convicted in any of the cases filed against her under the current purge in the interim period.
