The ruling Awami League is set to hold a divisional election campaign in Rajshahi on February 4 next year.

Party President and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will be present there, reports Bangla Tribune.

The decision was taken in the Awami League presidium meeting at Ganabhaban on Monday night.

This would be first election campaign being held after the formation of the 22nd national council of Awami League last Saturday.

Sources at the party told Bangla Tribune that to make the campaign successful on February 4, an extended meeting of five organizational units will be held on January 8.
