Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, also the Awami League president, is announcing the Awami League's (AL) election manifesto Wednesday (27 December) during an ongoing event at the capital's Sonargaon hotel.
The programme began with the national anthem, which was inaugurated by Agriculture Minister Dr Abdur Razzaque.
According to AL sources, the party will prioritise 11 issues in its manifesto, including efforts to maintain commodity prices.
Employable education and employment for the youth, a modern technology-dependent Smart Bangladesh, an integrated agricultural system, and affordable healthcare for low-income people are some of the key areas focused on the election manifesto.
The AL election manifesto will also discuss increasing efficiency and capability in the financial sector, including banks and expanding the industry by increasing visible infrastructure.
AL will also focus on involving everyone in the universal pension, ensuring effectiveness, accountability of law enforcement agencies, and prevention of communalism, terrorism, and militancy in its election manifesto, sources said.
In addition, the Awami League will also emphasise ensuring fundamental rights for third-gender individuals.
The manifesto includes issues for implementing the Prime Minister's goals of transforming Bangladesh into a developed nation by the year 2041.
In its 2008 election manifesto, AL's slogan was "The Charter of Change."
