Rezaul Hossain and Iarul Islam have been re-elected as chairman and secretary general of Bangladesh Congress. The announcement was made on Friday during the party’s 4th National Council held at Abdus Salam Hall of the National Press Club. Shafiqul Islam and Abdullah Al Mamun were elected as vice-chairmen, while Mizanur Rahman, Ziaur Rashid, and M Taher Uddin were chosen as joint secretaries. The oath for the newly elected leaders was administered by Saiful Haque, general secretary of the Revolutionary Workers Party.

In his remarks, chairman Kazi Rezaul Hossain warned that the government’s rising debt and fuel price increases would negatively affect public life by driving up commodity prices and reducing purchasing power. He also criticized the government’s consensus commission, claiming that despite spending about 15 million taka, Bangladesh Congress was excluded from participation. Additionally, he alleged that funds from canal excavation projects were being misused by local leaders.

The newly elected leaders pledged to strengthen and organize the party further. Representatives from various political parties, including JAGPA, Bangladesh Muslim League, and Bangladesh Labour Party, attended the council.
