DHAKA: Former President and Jatiya Party (JP) Chairman HM Ershad said his last and only goal is to establish the party in power.

He also directed party leaders and activists to get ready as JP will nominate candidates for 300 seats in the upcoming parliamentary election.

Ershad made the remarks while addressing party’s joint meeting in city’s IEB on Saturday (September 8).

“JP will announce election programs by holding a rally in Suhrawardy Udyan on October 6. We have to hold a record large rally on October 6 where tens of thousands of people will participate. We are ready to be in power and do not want to be a domestic opposition party anymore,” Ershad added.
