Awami League Madhabdi Pourashava Committee has started distributing nomination papers to its candidates for the municipal election, the schedule of which has not yet been declared by the Election Commission.
But it is a news that the polls will be held by the end of the current year, when tenures of most municipal councils expire.
An AL Poura Poll Nomination Board has already been formed in Madhabdi for selection of the candidates for mayoral and councilor posts.
A total of 36 nomination papers have been sold to the probable candidates, who include two for mayoral post, 29 for councilors and 5 for female seats.
Awami League Madhabdi Pourashava unit president Salahuddin Ahmed said: “As per the decision of Narsingdi district Awami League we are selling party nomination papers.”
Sources said when the Election Commission will declare Pourashava election schedule the Madhabdi Poura Awami League will arrange a special meeting for final selection of candidates for the post of one mayor, 12 general councilors and 4 female councilors.
Former Narsingdi sadar thana Awami League organising secretary Anowar Hossain and Madhabdi pourashava Awami League Secretary Mosharraf Hossain Prodhan Manik seeking to contest for mayoral post have obtained nomination papers.
On Friday, an emergency meeting was held at Madhabdi College, where State Minister Water Resources Nazrul Islam Hiru was present as chief guest.
All the local leaders, including Madhabdei Pourashava AL president Salahuddin and those who have taken the nomination papers, were present.
