NCP spokesperson Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan has accused the ruling party of lacking the courage to hold local elections after reviewing vote figures in divisional and district cities. In a Facebook post on Monday evening, he alleged that the government, which once criticized the interim administration as unelected, is now appointing unelected mayors across the country. His remarks followed the government’s decision on Sunday to replace civil servants with political appointees as administrators in six major city corporations, including Dhaka North and South.
Bhuiyan, a former adviser to the outgoing interim government, also expressed concern that similar unelected appointments could soon extend to upazila chairmen and other local government positions. He warned that upcoming appointments might include unelected union parishad chairmen, members, and ward councillors.
Local Government Minister Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir dismissed these concerns earlier on Monday, stating that despite the appointment of administrators in six city corporations, local government elections would be held on schedule.
