The nomination of Mujibul Haque Chunnu, former secretary general and a factional chairman of the Jatiya Party, was canceled in the Kishoreganj-3 (Karimganj-Tarail) constituency. The incident occurred on Sunday during the scrutiny of nomination papers at the district returning officer’s office, where commotion broke out. The returning officer, Mohammad Aslam Molla, declared the cancellation citing multiple errors in the affidavit, including concealment of case information, loan default, and absence of the party chairman’s signature. Chunnu was not present during the verification; his representative attended on his behalf.
According to the report, some people at the office accused Chunnu of being an ally of the Awami League and demanded punishment. The article notes that Chunnu, who served twice as a minister under the Awami League government, had previously presented himself as a Jatiya Party and Awami League-supported candidate in the 2024 national election. He had not visited his home or constituency since August 5, 2024, after Sheikh Hasina left the country, and local residents had organized a protest against him.
The cancellation adds uncertainty to the political landscape of Kishoreganj-3, where scrutiny of other candidates’ nominations is ongoing.
