Chittagong : Mohammed Manjur Alam, backed by the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party, will be the mayor of Chittagong, the country’s principal port town, it was announced Friday.
This marked a setback for the ruling Awami League that had backed A.B.M. Mohiuddin Chowdhury in a bitterly-fought election marked by violence.
The election victory could enthuse opposition leader and two-term prime minister Khaleda Zia, who has vowed to launch protests against the government from June 27.
