The ruling party Awami League has commenced the sale of party nomination forms for reserved seats for women in the 12th National Parliament. The sale of these forms began at the central office of Awami League located at 23 Bangabandhu Avenue in Gulistan of the capital on Tuesday around 10 am.
More than half a dozen celebrities from the showbiz arena have purchased nominations for reserved seats for women. Actresses who have obtained nomination forms for reserved women's seats include Tanveen Sweety, Sohana Saba, Apu Biswas, Nipun Akhtar, Shahnoor, and Urmila Srabanti Kar, among others.
Around 10:30 am, actress Sohana Saba herself arrived to collect the nomination form, and around 11 am, actress Nipun Akhter came to do the same. Actress Apu Biswas acquired the nomination form at 12:30 noon.
Urmila Srabanti Kar is hopeful to secure a party nomination. She mentioned being involved in Awami League politics since her university days.
The Lux star expressed, “I am very hopeful about receiving the nomination since my political career has been extensive. I have collaborated with individuals from all walks of life, and the scope of my work will broaden if nominated.”
Saba expressed gratitude, saying, “We are fortunate that Awami League has supported us for the past 15 years. God willing, they will continue to support us for the next 5 years. I certainly hope to receive the nomination from Awami League. Although I haven't been actively involved in politics, I have participated in campaigns during various elections. However, I never anticipated this. My father was involved in politics, but I never thought I would pursue it.”
Apu Biswas said, “I consider myself fortunate to engage in politics and support the liberation war. I have collected the nomination form and bought it from the Bogra district of Rajshahi division. The people in my area have been very supportive. Please continue to pray for me so that I can stand by the people of my area and work towards fulfilling Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's vision.”
Awami League has stated that the application forms can be collected and submitted until 4 pm on Thursday (February 8). Additionally, forms can be collected and submitted daily from 10 am to 4 pm.
Earlier, in a press release on Sunday (February 4), Awami League announced the date of the sale of party nomination forms for reserved seats for women in the 12th National Parliament.
