Narrow chances for others as AL holds strong position

Only Wakil Uddin is visible in Dhaka- 11
Eight valid candidates are contesting polls from Dhaka-11. However, it is quite surprising that only Mohammad Wakil Uddin from the Awami League holds strong position in the voting race. Campaign of other candidates can be seen occasionally in the constituency.
