Sayeed Khokon, Awami League (AL) Dhaka City Organising Secretary who had opted for Progressive Democratic Party (PDP) met Acting General Secretary of the party Sayed Ashraful Islam at his NAM residence Sunday.
Sources close to the meeting told UNB that Ashraf counselled him to have patience in view of the fact that a strong group led by party's Organising Secretary Saber Hossain Chowdhury was insisting on his expulsion from the party.
Vacillating Khokan started attending Awami League central office since November 16 despite objection from the followers of Saber Chowdhury.
Defeated in the last Dhaka City mayoral election to BNP's Sadeq Hossain Khoka, Sayeed Khokon is aspiring for the party's nomination in the upcoming mayoral election, said the party insiders.
