Field-level voters in Faridpur-4 constituency, covering Sadarpur, Charbhadrasan, and Bhanga, believe a three-way contest is likely in the upcoming national election. The seat, historically dominated by the Awami League since independence, has occasionally been won by the Jatiya Party and BNP. Former independent MP Mujibur Rahman Nixon, a relative of Sheikh Hasina, held the seat for three consecutive terms. Following the political shift on August 5, 2024, many Awami League leaders reportedly left the area amid fear of legal action, creating a vacuum now being filled by opposition forces.

Supporters of former MP Nixon have largely joined the BNP’s campaign, backing its candidate, Krishak Dal’s central general secretary Shahidul Islam Khan Babul. BNP activists claim unity under his leadership, with no internal disputes. Meanwhile, Jamaat-e-Islami, which previously performed poorly in the area, reports increased youth support and hopes to capitalize on public discontent over corruption and irregularities. Voters identify Babul, Jamaat’s Mohammad Sarwar Hossain, and independent candidate architect Mujahid Beg as the main contenders.

Local observers expect the main electoral battle to center on these three candidates, reflecting shifting alliances and voter sentiment in the region.
