Dr. Mahamuda Mitu, the central joint member secretary of the National Citizen Party (NCP), has decided not to contest the election from the Jhalakathi-1 constituency. On Tuesday, she formally withdrew her nomination papers and announced her support for Jamaat alliance candidate Faizul Haque. The announcement was made through a Facebook post on Tuesday evening, where she confirmed her decision to step aside in line with her party’s directive.

In her post, Dr. Mitu expressed gratitude for the party’s decision and urged her supporters in the Kathalia-Rajapur area to stand by Faizul Haque. She also stated that she would actively participate in the election campaign for the Jamaat alliance in Jhalakathi-1. Calling on voters to support the alliance’s symbol, she reaffirmed her commitment to remain engaged throughout the campaign period.

The withdrawal and endorsement mark a shift in local electoral dynamics, as Dr. Mitu’s participation in Jamaat’s campaign could influence voter alignment in the constituency.
