Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was reelected president of the ruling Awami League (AL) unopposed Saturday for the seventh time, while LGRD Minister Syed Ashraful Islam was made general secretary, reports UNB.
The councillors of the AL, one of the oldest political parties of the country, unanimously elected them in its 19th council on the day as there were no other candidates for the posts.
In her instant reaction after the reelection as the party president for the seventh successive term, Hasina said: "It's a big responsibility?I expected there would be new leadership and I would assist them staying beside them. That's why I had no preparation for this."
She went on: "But I gladly accept the responsibility you bestowed upon me as the election is ahead of us."
Hasina claimed the party is now more organised than in the past and said once there were many brackets after the name of the party in 1981 but now there is none.
In his reaction, Ashraful said, "We have to work together as in the past. And honesty and devotion will be our main strength in this connection."
Earlier, AL leader Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim proposed Hasina's name for the post of president, which was seconded by Ashraful. Party leader Mahbub-ul-Alam Hanif proposed Ashraf's name while Jahangir Kabir Nanak seconded it.
Rahmat Ali, Mozammel Haque and Yusuf Hossain Humayun acted as election commissioners at the council.
