Observer Online Report

Individuals associated with banned Awami League can participate in the upcoming local government elections, said Prime Minister’s Adviser on Information and Broadcasting Dr. Zahed Ur Rahman on Tuesday.

He made the remarks while responding to questions from journalists at a press conference on the government's regular activities held at the Secretariat.

Dr. Zahed said there would be no obstacle to individuals contesting the polls as the elections would be conducted on a non-party basis.

When asked whether pending cases against many Awami League leaders and activists would be an issue, he said participation in elections is possible even with pending cases.

Replying to a question about candidates who may still hold positions in Awami League, the adviser said as the party’s organisational activities remain banned such positions cannot be used in any official or political capacity.
