Chief Coordinator of Ganasanghati Andolan Zonayed Saki is in the fray for the Dhaka city polls defying the stance of the political alliance to which his party is a constituent.
In a press conference in Dhaka on Saturday, Ganatantrik Bam Morcha (Democratic Left Alliance) Coordinator Moshrefa Mishu said the coalition would not participate in the ensuing polls as they feared elections at this juncture might 'deepen the present political crisis'.
The Election Commission is staging Dhaka North and South and Chittagong city corporation polls on Apr 28 amid agitations of the BNP-led 20-Party Alliance, which is demanding snap elections under a caretaker administration.
Several top BNP leaders, however, have already submitted their nominations for the elections.
Morcha's alliance partner Ganasanghati Andolan's Chief Coordinator Saki is vying for Dhaka North City Corporation mayoral post.    ?bdnes24.com
