Feni-2 constituency’s BNP candidate Zainal Abedin stated that he has not yet taken a clear position regarding the upcoming referendum. Speaking to journalists on Friday, January 23, during his campaign in Feni Municipality’s Wards 1 and 2, the former member of parliament said he does not have a definite idea about whether to vote ‘yes’ or ‘no’. He added that the final decision would depend on the party’s central leadership.

Abedin emphasized that there is no personal gain or pressure involved in the referendum issue. He expressed confidence that people would vote for the BNP’s ‘sheaf of paddy’ symbol on February 12, claiming that such support could bring a change in the nation’s fate. He also asserted that the BNP would come to power with around 78 percent of the votes.

He recalled his long-standing political involvement in Feni, noting that he served as vice president of Feni Government College before the formation of the Awami League and has always considered Feni-2 his political base.
