The Election Commission (EC) has declared the nomination of Hummam Quader Chowdhury, BNP’s candidate for Chittagong-7 and a member of the party’s central executive committee, as valid. The decision was announced on Thursday, January 15, 2026, following an appeal hearing held at the Election Building in Dhaka. This marks Hummam’s first participation in a parliamentary election. He had submitted his nomination papers on December 29 after receiving party endorsement on November 3.
His candidacy faced challenges over allegations of loan default and concealment of financial information in his affidavit. Hummam claimed that attempts were made to label him a defaulter through a special process on January 8, but the High Court had already issued a stay order on the disputed report. The EC, led by the Chief Election Commissioner, considered the legal documents before validating his nomination.
According to his affidavit, Hummam’s annual income is about Tk 1.25 million, with movable assets worth Tk 8.42 million. His wife’s declared assets amount to nearly Tk 410 million. The EC’s decision reportedly revived enthusiasm among BNP supporters in Chittagong-7.
