AL sources said that they will give importance to the addition of new members rather than renewal of the members.
The central leaders are hoping that almost 2 crore new members will be included through the fresh campaign.
Awami League sources also said that during the primary member collection campaign, the party will prioritise the new members’ political affiliation rather than family background.
Awami League office Secretary Abdus Sobhan Golap, the forms are being sent to upazila, union and ward levels. Alongside, many people will also collect forms from the center.
He said that the campaign will help the party be more prosperous than ever. However, he also called for grassroots leaders to be careful about the collection of the members.
Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader announced it at a press conference held at the Awami League president’s Dhanmondi office on Friday.
He said they will carefully check applicants’ relationship with the blood relationship with war criminals.
He also said that they will prefer the clean image in selecting new members and check the criminal records, as well as past relations with communal factions.
According to Awami League's constitution, the membership of the party is renewed every three years with a certain rate of subscription and the new member collection campaign is scheduled for a specific time.
