Rangpur City Polls: Intra-party feud and selection of "wrong candidate" caused the ruling Awami League to suffer a humiliating defeat in Tuesday's mayoral polls in Rangpur city, said local politicians and civil society members.
Mostafizar Rahman Mostafa, the Jataya Party-backed mayoral candidate in the Rangpur City Corporation elections, is leading in 200 centres as the vote-counting began at 6:00 pm today.
Jatiya Party’s Mostafizar Rahman Mostafa was reelected Rangpur mayor while the ruling Awami League candidate, in the fourth position, managed to bag only 8 percent of the vote in the city corporation polls yesterday.
