Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives Minister Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir announced that city corporation elections in Bangladesh will be held in phases according to the expiration of each corporation’s term. He said both the government and the Election Commission are prepared for the process. The minister made the remarks on Tuesday at the Secretariat after six newly appointed city corporation administrators formally took charge.
Responding to questions from journalists, Mirza Fakhrul said the decision on whether city corporation elections will be held under party symbols will be made in the National Parliament. He explained that political figures have been appointed as administrators instead of government officials to strengthen public engagement and improve service delivery. The minister emphasized that local government elections are a continuous process, beginning with those whose terms have already ended.
The six new administrators pledged to work on mosquito control, traffic management, and road repairs to reduce public suffering. They also announced plans to implement a 60-day action program to ensure better public service delivery.
