More than 50 parties want elections in December: Left Democratic Alliance

More than 50 registered and unregistered political parties in the country want the national parliament elections in December.

The Left Democratic Alliance claimed this in a statement sent to the media on Friday (May 30) afternoon.

They said that the statement that ‘except for one party, no one wants elections in December’ is a far cry from the truth. This statement is malicious and purposeful.

Demanding the transfer of power to the elected government by holding elections by December after implementing the necessary electoral reforms, the statement said that not only one party, but more than 50 registered and unregistered political parties in the country, including the Left Democratic Alliance, want the national parliament elections in December.

The Left Democratic Alliance alleged that the interim government has resorted to the tactic of postponing the elections to ‘implement the agenda’ of US imperialism and to give political benefits to the newly formed party ‘under the patronage of the government’. For the same purpose, a newly formed political party under ‘government sponsorship’ and some extremist communal parties and groups, who were war criminals and anti-humans in 1971, are carrying out various malicious activities to create an unstable-anarchic situation in the country to thwart the elections. Which will plunge the country into a dangerous situation.

This statement was given on behalf of the Left Democratic Alliance by the central coordinator of the alliance and the general secretary of the Revolutionary Communist League of Bangladesh, Iqbal Kabir Zahid, CPB president Md. Shah Alam and general secretary Ruhin Hossain, BAS general secretary Bazlur Rashid Firoz, BAS (Marxist) coordinator Masud Rana, general secretary of the Democratic Revolutionary Party, Mosherefa Mishu, and executive president of the Socialist Party of Bangladesh, Abdul Ali.
