The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, led by the Chief Justice, ruled on Tuesday that three BNP-nominated candidates—Sarowar Alam of Chattogram-2, Aslam Chowdhury of Chattogram-4, and Fahim Chowdhury of Sherpur-2—may participate in the upcoming 13th national parliamentary election. The court’s order confirmed that there are no legal barriers to their participation.
According to lawyer Md. Mojibur Rahman, the order regarding Aslam Chowdhury came in response to an appeal filed by Jamuna Bank challenging the validity of his nomination. For Sarowar Alam, the court allowed him to contest but directed that the election result for his constituency remain withheld until the pending appeal is resolved. Earlier, the High Court had suspended the Election Commission’s decision that canceled Sarowar’s candidacy over loan default allegations. In Sherpur-2, Fahim Chowdhury regained eligibility through appeal after his nomination was initially rejected over dual citizenship claims.
The rulings collectively ensure that all three BNP candidates can take part in the election process, though one constituency’s result will remain pending until further judicial resolution.
