Tabith Mohammed Awal has won the support of Bangladesh Nationalist Party in the mayoral race for the forthcoming Dhaka North City elections.
The party’s city elections steering committee convenor Professor Emajuddin Ahamed, also former Dhaka University vice-chancellor, vowed the support on Thursday after he had had a meeting with BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia.
Tabith’s father Abdul Awal Mintoo, who is an adviser to Khaleda Zia, had earlier submitted nomination for the candidacy, but Election Commission declared his nomination invalid referring to some mistakes in filing procedures.
