The parliamentary board of Bangladesh Nationalists Party (BNP) yesterday selected candidates for the polls on December 29.

"The parliamentary board of BNP chaired by party chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia and other standing committee members evaluated the selection of nomination aspirants," party sources said.

The meeting of the parliamentary board of BNP that lasted at early hours of Saturday has primarily selected a total of 263 persons for party's tickets to contest the elections.

But later the number was reduced to 250 after reviewing the election strategy and seats sharing with other component parties of the four-party alliance of Bangladesh Jamaat-e- Islami (BJI), Islami Oikkya Jote (IOJ) and Bangladesh Jatiya Party (BJP).

"The parliamentary board of the party has asked candidates of 13 constituencies for not submitting their nomination papers today (Sunday)," party sources said.

Later the high ups of BNP have decided to allocate seats to alliance partners at least 5o instead of 37.

The names of the candidates intending to contest the polls are:
