The nomination of Jatiya Party candidate Anisul Islam Mahmud Chowdhury for the Chattogram-5 (Hathazari) constituency was canceled on Saturday afternoon. The decision was made by Divisional Commissioner and Returning Officer Dr. Zia Uddin at the Chattogram Divisional Commissioner’s Office. Shortly after the announcement, police detained Mahmud’s proposer, Md. Salauddin, for questioning. The reason for the cancellation was not immediately disclosed.
Earlier in the day, a hearing for the constituency began at noon, during which more than a hundred students under the banner of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement staged a protest outside the office. They chanted slogans demanding the cancellation of Mahmud’s nomination and later chased his proposer, who was then handed over to police. Salauddin was taken into custody by a team from Kotwali Police Station.
Chattogram North District Chhatra Dal president Takibul Hasan Chowdhury Taki alleged that Mahmud, though a Jatiya Party leader, had previously acted in favor of the Awami League and was responsible for repression in Hathazari. Authorities confirmed that Mahmud’s nomination had been officially canceled.
