In Rajshahi, Bangladesh, internal divisions have intensified within the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) as supporters of nomination-deprived leaders continue protests demanding candidate changes in three parliamentary constituencies—Rajshahi-1, Rajshahi-3, and Rajshahi-5. Demonstrations include road blockades, torch processions, and symbolic protests such as lying on roads wrapped in shrouds. The unrest has hindered campaign activities of BNP’s nominated candidates, prompting grassroots leaders to urge central intervention. In Rajshahi-1, followers of Advocate Sultanul Islam Tarek oppose the nomination of retired Major General Sharif Uddin, citing his lack of political experience. In Rajshahi-3, supporters of Rayhanul Haque and Nasir Hossain demand local candidates instead of “outsiders.” In Rajshahi-5, multiple nomination-deprived leaders have united against candidate Nazrul Islam Mondal, threatening to boycott campaign activities unless nominations are reconsidered. Central BNP leaders are reportedly struggling to reconcile factions and maintain unity ahead of the upcoming national election.
