Prime Minister and ruling Awami League president Sheikh Hasina on Thursday formally conveyed President M Abdul Hamid of her party's nomination to him to run the presidency for another term.
"She formally handed over a formal letter containing the Awami League's decision to nominate him for the presidency as she called on him at Bangabhaban this evening," a President's spokesman told BSS.
President's press secretary Joynal Abedin said the premier also greeted President Hamid with a bouquet while the president reciprocated to her gesture presenting her another bunch of flowers.
"It is me who will give you the bouquet today," an official familiar with the scene quoted a smiling Sheikh Hasina telling the president, who, he said, responded saying "it is the Bangabhaban ritual to greet you (PM) with the bouquet".
