The National Citizen Party (NCP) on Sunday held organisational preparation meetings at the ward level for the upcoming Dhaka City Corporation elections, with party convener Nahid Islam providing overall guidance to leaders and prospective candidates.

The exchange meeting with probable councillor candidates from various wards under Dhaka South and North City Corporations was held at NCP's temporary office in Bangla Motor in the afternoon.

Nahid Islam, who is also the chief whip of the opposition in the national parliament, attended the meeting along with NCP-backed probable mayoral candidates for Dhaka South and North City Corporations, Nasiruddin Patwary and Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuiyan, respectively.

During the meeting, Nahid formally declared Nasiruddin Patwary and Asif Mahmud as the party's mayoral candidates for Dhaka South and North City Corporations respectively.

He also gave overall directives covering preparations for the city corporation elections, metropolitan politics, ward-based resistance against the "fallen and fugitive" Awami League, standing beside the families of July martyrs and the injured, and launching movements on civic issues.

Nahid further directed party leaders on identifying probable councillor candidates, addressing ward-level civic problems, maintaining constant engagement with the families of July martyrs and the injured, and keeping strict vigilance against subversive activities by the "fallen and fugitive" Awami League.

Dhaka South and North metropolitan conveners Ishaq Sarkar and Ariful Islam Adib, along with leaders from various levels of the party, were also present at the meeting.
