10 rebel candidates in eight municipalities
The number of unruly candidates for the position of mayor has decreased in the upcoming municipal elections due to the severe warning from the high command of the Awami League. In the past, there were an average of three rebel boat candidates in each municipality. The first phase of 25 municipal elections will take place on December 28. Of these, there are 10 rebel Awami League candidates in eight municipalities. The last day to withdraw your candidacy in 61 municipal elections to be held on January 18 is December 29.
For a long time, the Awami League has been fighting to control rogue candidates in local government elections. If the interested candidates do not win the party’s nomination, they rebel in some places and run as independent candidates. In some places, there are more than two, three or four rogue candidates. In some places it is explained differently but it is not possible for everyone or everywhere. As a result, the party’s nominated candidates suffered. As a result of divisions between local leaders and activists, the Awami League candidate was defeated mainly due to the rebel candidates. To emerge from this crisis, the Awami League has taken the field with a strong message for the party’s rebels in this year’s municipal elections. Strict organizational measures are being taken against those who will be rogue candidates, including expulsion from their positions in the party. Fields in particular will be banned from the team for life. They will not be able to reach any team position in the future. Furthermore, the rebel candidates will never be nominated by the party in the future. However, even if someone is a rogue candidate and withdraws their nomination following the party’s instructions, they will be evaluated elsewhere later.
Meanwhile, those who had won elections as rebel candidates in the past also do not receive party nominations this time. According to the decision of the Awami League Local Government Representatives Nominating Board, those who were rogue candidates in the past will not be nominated this time, even if they are popular. In light of that decision, no rebel Awami League candidate was named in that municipality. Popular candidates have been nominated through grassroots opinion, reports from various organizations, and capillary analysis from central leaders. During a recent discussion at the party forum, the president of the Awami League and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina ordered party leaders and workers to work together for the ship’s candidate in the upcoming municipal elections and said they have to work for the candidate. Those who were rogue candidates in the past are popular, but this time they will not be nominated.
In such a tough position in the party’s high command, the number of rebel mayoral candidates in this year’s municipal elections is relatively low. The ruling party has eight rebel candidates in the first round of the 25 municipal elections on December 28. The central leaders of the Awami League have continued to try to settle them. If it doesn’t work, organizational measures will be taken. Of these eight municipalities, there are only three rebel candidates in Shayestaganj de Habiganj. So far, they are inflexible when it comes to participating in elections. As a result, local leaders and activists, including the party’s mayoral candidate, are uneasy. These rogue candidates have become a thorn in the ruling party’s candidate’s side, as there are strong candidates from other parties, including the opposition BNP. It has been discovered from the experience of past elections that such a strict position was taken on the rebel candidate in this year’s municipal elections. Even then, 16 rogue candidates submitted nomination papers in 11 of the 25 municipalities in the first phase. Subsequently, at least seven rebel candidates were discarded, since their candidacies were canceled or withdrawn due to the hard position of the party. There are currently 10 rebel candidates in these eight municipalities.

Meanwhile, the rebel candidates have been nominated in the past for some reason, but their candidacy will be canceled later. In the first round of the next 25 municipal elections, three candidates have changed even after winning the first party nomination. Once the list of candidates was finalized, the three rebel candidates were eliminated as soon as they came to the attention of the party’s political leaders.
