“It’s impossible to work with Colonel Oli in politics. That’s why, we formed a new committee,” said Selim.
“We’ll take the future course of action by speaking to the coordination committee.”
In 2006, LDP was founded with AQM Badruddoza Chowdhury as president and Oli Ahmed executive president, bringing an end to Bikalpadhara Bangladesh.
In 2007, Oli unveiled a new committee of the LDP to split the party into two, a month after Badruddoza announced a new 11-member presidium, expelling Oli and former speaker Shaikh Razzak Ali.
