The Appellate Division of Bangladesh, led by the Chief Justice, has rejected the leave-to-appeal petition of Manjurul Ahsan Munshi, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) candidate for the Comilla-4 constituency. The decision, delivered on Sunday, February 1, 2026, prevents Munshi from participating in the upcoming 13th National Parliamentary Election. His nomination had earlier been canceled by the Election Commission (EC) following allegations of loan default.
The cancellation request was filed by Hasnat Abdullah, the chief organizer of the National Citizens Party (NCP) and Munshi’s rival candidate in the same constituency. On January 17, the EC officially declared Munshi’s nomination invalid due to the loan default allegation. Munshi subsequently filed a writ petition in the High Court challenging the EC’s decision, but the latest ruling by the Appellate Division has upheld the cancellation.
With this ruling, Hasnat Abdullah remains the confirmed NCP candidate for Comilla-4, while the BNP will be unable to field Munshi in the 13th national election for that seat.
