Ending days of speculation, the ruling Awami League named Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh as its candidate for the mayoral election of Dhaka South City Corporation.

While making the announcement, Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader said the "candidates' public acceptance and popularity were taken into consideration in nominating them for the mayoral elections of Dhaka city corporations."

"The nomination board also checked eligibility of the candidates and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina supported the decision of the board," Obaidul Quader added.
