Party sources said the current city unit Amir, Kazi Deen Mohammad, has been attached to the party’s central office in Dhaka for divisional responsibilities.

Under the party’s constitution, a senior leader is to be appointed as the new amir. The issue has reportedly fuelled a dispute between the groups.
