For the first time, two Bangladeshis are running in Portugal’s local government elections, marking a significant milestone in immigrant political engagement. Shah Alam Kajol is seeking re-election in Porto’s Bonfim Junta area as a Socialist Party candidate, having previously served as a councilor. Meanwhile, Masud Majumdar is participating for the first time in Lisbon’s São Vicente Junta Freguesia area as an independent candidate. Both emphasize their commitment to addressing real local issues and improving citizens’ quality of life. Experts and community leaders note that immigrant leadership is vital, especially amid rising right-wing politics in Portugal. Their active participation is inspiring not only the Bangladeshi diaspora but also other immigrant communities, sending a positive message about inclusion and representation. These developments are strengthening the visibility of Bangladeshis in Europe and enhancing the country’s image internationally.
