Campaigning for the 13th National Parliamentary Election has gained momentum across the Laksam-Manoharganj area of Comilla-9 constituency. As the election draws nearer, discussions and speculation about potential candidates have increased, creating a festive atmosphere. The contest is expected to be three-way, with candidates from BNP, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, Islamic Front, and Islami Andolan (Charmonai Pir) actively engaging with voters. Independent candidate Samira Azim Dola has withdrawn from the race, extending her support to the BNP candidate.

BNP’s sole candidate Abul Kalam expressed optimism about his victory, while Jamaat’s candidate Dr. Syed A.K.M. Sarwar Uddin Siddiqui said he is fully prepared and believes the people of Laksam-Manoharganj want change. Islamic Front’s Alhaj Mir Abu Bakar and Islami Andolan’s Alhaj Selim Mahmud also continue their campaigns, each hopeful of voter support. A recent rally at Laksam Stadium featured Jamaat Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman as chief guest.

Local BNP leaders claim the constituency is a BNP stronghold, suggesting their candidate has a strong chance of winning.
