Demands are intensifying to appoint Dr. Reza Kibria, newly elected BNP lawmaker from Habiganj-1 (Bahubal-Nabiganj), as the finance minister in the new government. He won the 13th National Parliamentary Election with 111,999 votes. Local BNP leaders and residents argue that his background as an economist makes him a strong candidate for the post.
The constituency has a history of producing national leaders, including late Dewan Farid Gazi, who served as Minister for Local Government and Cooperatives from 1973 to 1975, and Dr. Kibria’s father, Shah AMS Kibria, who was finance minister under the Awami League government in 1996. Shah AMS Kibria was killed in a grenade attack in 2005, an incident for which Dr. Kibria has blamed local Awami League leaders. Analysts believe this event influenced his shift to the BNP.
Residents of Bahubal and Nabiganj expect that if Dr. Kibria becomes finance minister, long-neglected infrastructure and educational institutions in the area will see significant development, fulfilling his campaign promises.
