This time the price of the nomination form of the ruling party has been fixed thirty thousand taka only.
Aspirant candidates can collect their nomination papers from eight booths will be erected at the new Bhaban of Dhanmondi political office.
However, the Awami League Parliamentary Board (ALPB) will give the nomination to the party’s competent and popular after holding a meeting with the party president and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
After the meeting, the nomination board will announce the names of competent candidates for contesting the 11th parliamentary elections.
