The Election Inquiry and Judicial Committee has issued a show-cause notice to Professor Mujibur Rahman, Jamaat-e-Islami’s central Naib-e-Ameer and candidate for the Rajshahi-1 (Godagari-Tanore) constituency, for allegedly violating the electoral code of conduct. The notice, sent on Sunday, January 18, 2026, by Judge Mosammat Kamrun Nahar of the Rajshahi Joint District and Sessions Judge Court, instructs Rahman to appear in person before the court on Tuesday, January 20, at 11:30 a.m. to explain his actions.
According to the notice, the committee received a complaint via WhatsApp alleging that during a courtyard meeting in Ward No. 1 of Rishikul Union, held in Rahman’s presence, hostile remarks were made against opposition parties and open appeals for votes using the “scales” symbol were delivered. The video of the event was reportedly circulated on social media platforms.
The notice states that such conduct constitutes a clear violation of sections 15, 16, and 18 of the Political Parties and Candidates’ Code of Conduct 2025. The committee has asked Rahman to explain why the matter should not be investigated and reported to the Election Commission Secretariat with recommendations.
