| 2009-12-03 |
| [Bangla Daily Star] Khaleda Zia is going to be re-elected unopposed chairperson of the BNP as none but she has submitted nomination papers for contesting the election of party chief scheduled for the day the party's national council will be held -- December 8. Ahead of the council, a number of influential BNP leaders are however trying to mount pressure on the party leadership for creating a post of 'co-chairperson' for Khaleda's son Tarique Rahman, party insiders said. Khaleda neither accepted nor rejected the proposal as the BNP standing committee is still discussing proposals for amendments to the party constitution. |
