Quader urges BNP to take part in UZ polls

Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader has called upon BNP to reconsider their decision against participating in the upcoming Upazila Parishad elections.

“I don’t know whether it’s their (BNP) final decision, but I would like to call upon the party to reconsider their decision,” Quader told reporters at a press briefing.

Mentioning that BNP had emerged victorious in the first phase of the previous UZ polls, Obaidul Quader said the party should not despair.

“The elections could have been competitive had BNP decided to contest the polls,” he said at a press briefing in his ministerial office reflecting on the upazila polls.

Assuring that all efforts will be taken to make the elections acceptable, he hoped that BNP would change its stance and join the elections.
