political parties were present at the programme.

Chairman election of the AB Party was held at Suhrawardy Udyan from 9 am to 9

expatriate and sick councilors voted online.

Three candidates contested the post of AB Party Chairman.

They are– the party’s founding convener AFM Solaiman Chowdhury, founding
member secretary Mujibur Rahman Bhuiyan Manju and joint convener Colonel
(retd.) Didarul Alam.

Out of a total of 2,806 voters, 1,689 councilors casted their votes. Out of
these, 45 votes were cancelled.

votes respectively.

Earlier, the general secretary election was held at night after the chairman
election.

The 21-member of the AB Party executive committee was elected at the end of
last month.

candidate for the post of General Secretary.
