AL’s Gazipur Debacle: Awami League mayor candidate Azmat Ullah Khan got 15,672 votes less than his rival in two thanas under Gazipur-2 constituency, and it eventually led to his defeat by 16,197 votes.
Gazipur city polls: Development activities carried out by suspended Gazipur mayor Zahangir Alam, his close ties with the local Awami League leaders and activists and the voters' sympathy for him were the main reasons for his mother Zaida Khatun's victory in the mayoral polls, said voters.
In the Gazipur city polls, the most important message that the voters have sent out is that they are aggrieved. The anti-government sentiment is quite evident, which the central leadership of the Awami League did not likely realise.
