BNP’s acting chairman Tarique Rahman will contest the upcoming national election from two constituencies—Bogura-6 and Dhaka-17—according to party standing committee member Salahuddin Ahmed. He disclosed this information to the media on Saturday night, stating that the decision was made by the party leadership. The report also mentions that BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia will contest from three constituencies: Bogura-7, Feni-1, and Dinajpur-3, while Tarique Rahman will run from two. Meanwhile, Barrister Andaleeve Rahman Partha, chairman of BNP’s ally Bangladesh Jatiya Party (BJP), was initially featured on posters as a candidate for Dhaka-17 but will instead contest from his home constituency Bhola-1 under his party’s symbol, according to Salahuddin Ahmed. The announcement clarifies BNP’s candidate lineup for key constituencies ahead of the 13th parliamentary election, indicating coordination among alliance partners and finalization of seat decisions.
