Four women leaders who began their political careers in student politics have been included in the Bangladesh Nationalist Party’s (BNP) final nomination list for reserved women’s seats in the national parliament. The nominees are Selina Sultana, Arifa Sultana, Nadia Pathan Papon, and Mansura Akter. Their selection is being viewed as a significant example of leadership development among a new generation of politicians.

According to party sources, all four leaders started their political journeys through various organizational activities within the Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal, the student wing of the BNP. Their long experience in campus-based politics, grassroots movements, and organizational responsibilities has played a key role in their rise to national-level politics.

Observers within the party consider their nominations not only as personal achievements but also as a structured example of how student politics continues to serve as a foundation for national leadership within the BNP.
