Leader of the newly formed political alliance Jatiya Oikyafront, Dr Kamal Hossain, and his daughter Barrister Sara Hossain are not going to run for any constituency in the upcoming 11th parliamentary elections.
“I am 80 years old. I am working for my country and party now,” said Dr. Kamal.
However, he would participate in the policy making and decision making of the party, rather than directly participating in the election.
Subrata Chowdhury, executive president of Dr Kamal Hossain’s own political party Gono Forum, confirmed the matter on Wednesday.
“Sir (Dr. Kamal) is not going to join the election as his physical condition is not well. Barrister Sara is also not going to take part in the polls on personal grounds,” said Subrata Chowdhury.
“However, he will work for the alliance and make necessary contributions to ensure its victory in the election,” Subrata added.
Subrata Chowdhury said he submitted nomination paper to the returning officer to contest the polls from Dhaka-6 constituency while their general secretary Mostafa Mohsin Montu from Dhaka-2, Dhaka-3 and Dhaka-9 parliamentary seats.
He said many of their party leaders also initially submitted nomination papers in many seats across the country as they still could not settle the issue of seat sharing with BNP. “We’ll soon settle the issue.”
