The Jatiya Party has finalised its candidates for 287 constituencies out of the 300 for the upcoming national elections.
"We could not make a decision regarding the remaining seats as there were multiple candidates. We will list the rest within one or two days. Maybe one or two more seats will be kept vacant," Chunnu said.
The deadline for Jatiya Party's nomination form sales came to an end on Friday, but Raushan Ershad did collect any form.
"There is no time constraint for Raushan Ershad; the nomination form will be given whenever she wants. If she prefers, the forms will be delivered to her home," Chunnu told the media on Friday.
