BNP Chairperson Tarique Rahman is scheduled to return to his ancestral home in Bogura on January 29, 2026, after 19 years. His visit will include participation in election programs across three northern districts—Rajshahi, Naogaon, and Bogura. A large public rally is planned at Bogura’s Altafunnesa playground, where preparations are nearly complete with banners, festoons, and sound systems installed. The event was initially set for January 28 but was rescheduled due to flight ticket complications.

Local BNP leaders, including district president Rezaul Karim Badsha, expect hundreds of thousands to attend the rally. After the Bogura event, Rahman will stay overnight and continue campaign activities in Bogura-6 constituency the next day, visiting his ancestral village Bagbari in Gabtali. Party leaders and supporters across northern Bangladesh have expressed enthusiasm, with many preparing to welcome him.

According to BNP sources, Rahman last visited Bogura on December 24, 2006. His return has sparked a festive atmosphere among local residents and party activists eager to see their leader again.
