Twenty-two leaders and activists of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) in Gazaria upazila of Munshiganj have announced their resignation from the party. The announcement was made on Friday, January 30, 2026, at a press conference held at the party’s temporary office near Rasulpur Ferry Ghat in Imamapur Union. Gazaria upazila BNP member secretary Abdur Rahman Shafiq read a written statement declaring the resignations.

According to the statement, 74 of 78 unit presidents and general secretaries under the Munshiganj-3 constituency had supported a particular candidate, but the party ignored this majority opinion and nominated another. The resigning leaders also expressed anger over the expulsion of 13 popular figures, including district BNP leader Mohiuddin Ahmed and former central Jubo Dal vice president Alhaj Muhammad Mojibur Rahman. They said their resignations were effective immediately.

Among those resigning are district BNP convening committee member Md. Borhan Uddin Bhuiyan, upazila BNP joint conveners Shafik Shikdar and Engineer Mukbul Ahmed Ratan, as well as leaders from union-level BNP, Jubo Dal, and Matsyajibi Dal units.
