The ruling Awami League today announced the list of its nominated candidates for the upcoming municipality elections scheduled to be held on December 30.

The party’s Joint General Secretary Mahbub-ul-Alam Hanif disclosed the names of AL mayoral candidates for all 236 seats at the party president's Dhanmondi office in Dhaka.

AL finalised the list at its nomination board meeting on Monday and Tuesday. The party has already distributed the nomination papers among its candidates.

Responding to a query on rebel candidates, Hanif issued a warning: organisational steps will be taken if any candidate ignores the party decision.
