Bangladesh’s main opposition party, the BNP, is grappling with internal unrest across more than 50 constituencies ahead of the upcoming national election. Following the announcement of 272 potential candidates, numerous nomination-deprived leaders have lodged formal complaints at the party’s central office, alleging favoritism toward inactive, elderly, or controversial figures over younger, active, and reform-minded members. Several local units have staged protests, road blockades, and human chains demanding candidate changes.
Party insiders report that dissatisfaction is particularly strong in constituencies such as Sirajganj-3, Chattogram-12, Dinajpur-2, and Brahmanbaria-4, where local leaders accuse nominees of corruption, extortion, or absenteeism. BNP’s Standing Committee member Iqbal Hasan Mahmud Tuku stated that the nominations were based on field surveys and organizational feedback but admitted that adjustments may occur. He urged unity, warning that internal divisions could weaken the party’s electoral prospects.
Analysts suggest that persistent factionalism may undermine BNP’s campaign momentum and allow ruling party candidates to capitalize on the disarray. The party plans further consultations in Dhaka to address grievances and refine its election strategy.
