DHAKA, Dec 20, 2018 (BSS) – Bangladesh national cricket team’s current ODI captain Mashrafe Bin Mortuza, who is contesting the 11th parliamentary elections on Awami League ticket from Narail-2 constituency, today urged the people to vote for ‘boat’ and keep confidence in Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

“I call upon all, including the people of my constituency Narail, to cast vote for boat, the election symbol of Awami League, and keep confidence in Prime Minister,” he said.

Mashrafe added: “Our prime minister will present a more developed and prosperous Bangladesh Insha Allah if Awami League gets elected again.”
