BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman is set to visit Chattogram on Sunday, January 25, 2026, marking his first visit to the port city in nearly 21 years. He will address a large rally organized by the BNP at the Polo Ground as the chief guest. Party leaders and activists across 41 city wards, including affiliated groups such as Jubo Dal, Chhatra Dal, and Mohila Dal, are finalizing preparations to welcome him. Around 250 workers are completing stage construction, sound system setup, and other arrangements.

The rally stage measures 100 feet by 60 feet and is built from bamboo and wooden planks, with steel stairs for access. Security has been divided into three zones—red, yellow, and green—with the red zone reserved for senior leaders and candidates from Chattogram’s 16 constituencies. Law enforcement agencies and intelligence units are coordinating security and traffic plans. BNP leaders expect around 1.5 million attendees and say Rahman will deliver a message of unity and possibly introduce local candidates.

Excitement has spread across Chattogram’s neighborhoods, where banners and billboards featuring Rahman’s image have been displayed, creating a festive atmosphere among party members and residents.
