Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami has preliminarily finalized mayoral candidates for eight of the country’s thirteen city corporations, including Dhaka North and South. The decision was made during a central executive council meeting on Monday evening, June 22nd. While candidates have been initially selected, their names will require final approval from the party’s highest policy-making body, the Majlis-e-Shura. Sources indicate Salim has been nominated for Dhaka North and Sadiq for Dhaka South. The party is expected to announce candidates for the remaining five cities soon. This move signals Jamaat-e-Islami’s intent to actively participate in upcoming city corporation elections. Further details regarding the candidate selection process and official announcements are anticipated following the Majlis-e-Shura’s review.
