Former Chattogram City Corporation mayor M Manjur Alam, once affiliated with both Awami League and BNP, has reappeared in active politics by campaigning for BNP candidate Aslam Chowdhury in Chattogram-4. The campaign event took place last Thursday in the city’s Kattoli area, attended by local BNP leaders. Manjur, who previously served as mayor from BNP’s nomination in 2010, had later announced retirement from politics and was seen supporting Awami League activities in subsequent years.
Following the July political changes, Manjur renamed a stadium previously dedicated to Sheikh Russel and organized a memorial for late BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia. His supporters claim he may formally rejoin BNP if the party wins the election and could contest the next city polls under its banner. However, BNP’s Chattogram leaders clarified that while Manjur is helping their campaign, he has not rejoined the party.
Manjur stated that his involvement stems from gratitude toward Khaleda Zia and a sense of responsibility to help BNP return to power, denying any formal political comeback plans at this stage.
