More than one hundred leaders and activists from the banned Awami League and its affiliated organizations have joined the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) in Saidpur, Nilphamari. The formal joining took place on Sunday night at a meeting in Kamarpukur Union, attended by Abdul Gafur Sarkar, president of the Saidpur organizational district BNP and parliamentary candidate for Nilphamari-4. Local observers view the mass defection as a sign of significant change in the region’s political landscape.
BNP leaders said the inclusion of a large number of former Awami League members would strengthen the party’s organizational base and benefit it ahead of the upcoming national election. Abdul Gafur Sarkar stated that people were turning to the BNP due to repression, loss of voting rights, and anti-democratic actions by the banned Awami League government. He added that the exact number of new members would be confirmed after receiving the final list.
The development has sparked widespread discussion in Saidpur and surrounding areas, with local observers suggesting it could reshape future political alignments in the district.
