The Appeals Division has upheld the candidacy of BNP candidate Sarwar Alamgir, who won the Chattogram-2 seat in the 13th National Parliament election. Lawyers confirmed that the decision removes any obstacle to his taking the oath as a Member of Parliament. The verdict was announced by the court at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday.
Earlier, on January 18 of this year, the Election Commission had canceled Alamgir’s candidacy after a hearing. He then filed a writ petition with the High Court, which on January 27 suspended the Election Commission’s order and allowed him to contest the election. Subsequently, Nurul Amin filed a leave-to-appeal petition against the High Court’s decision.
On February 3, the Appeals Division granted leave to appeal, allowing Alamgir to participate in the election but ordered that the results remain suspended until the appeal was resolved. With the latest ruling, his candidacy stands valid, and there is no legal barrier to his oath-taking.
