Barishal AL candidate Abul Khair refuses to comment on support from brother, nephew
Abul Khair Abdullah, the Awami League-candidate for the Barishal City Corporation (BCC) election, declined to comment on his brother Abul Hasanat Abdullah and nephew Serniabad Sadiq Abdullah.
"No comments," he said, reacting to questions from reporters when they asked if his brother and nephew will vote for him today.
Former mayor Serniabad Sadiq Abdullah, also the general secretary of the Barishal City Awami League, was among the aspirants of the party ticket to vie in the election. However, Sadiq Abdullah's father Abul Hasnat Abdullah was made the chief of one of the two electioneering committees formed to support Abul Khair after he bagged the AL nomination.
