BNP Assistant Economic Affairs Secretary Mahmudur Rahman Sumon has announced his decision to contest the upcoming election from the Narayanganj-2 constituency, expressing dissatisfaction with the party’s nomination process. Speaking at a discussion and prayer event in Araihazar, Sumon said the current nomination does not reflect the people's choice and should be changed. He emphasized that the decision ultimately rests with BNP’s acting chairman Tarique Rahman, describing him as a symbol of the party’s struggle. Sumon also paid tribute to Begum Khaleda Zia, praising her sacrifices for democracy. Addressing the current political climate, he voiced concern over fear and uncertainty among party activists, saying it contradicts the spirit of democratic change.

The event ended with prayers for Khaleda Zia’s recovery and national peace.
