More than one hundred leaders and activists from BNP’s associate bodies in Pabna-4 (Ishwardi–Atgharia) constituency resigned en masse on Thursday, February 6, 2026, expressing anger over party nominations, expulsion threats, and dissatisfaction with central decisions. The announcement was made at an emergency press conference at Kacharipara field in Ishwardi municipal town, where the participants symbolically celebrated their protest by sharing sweets.
Among the resigning members were at least 64 officeholders from the upazila and municipal units of Jubo Dal, Swechchhasebak Dal, and Chhatra Dal, along with several hundred supporters. In a written statement, Shahapur Union Swechchhasebak Dal president and upazila Jubo Dal joint convener Md. Rasel Parvez said they were disappointed that Zakaria Pintu, who had led local movements, was denied the BNP nomination and is now contesting as an independent candidate. He added that repeated expulsion threats from the party prompted their collective resignation.
Central BNP member and former Ishwardi mayor Mokhlesur Rahman Babul commented that such resignations before the election are personal decisions but not beneficial for the party. Local analysts noted the mass resignation could affect BNP’s organizational strength and alter the electoral dynamics in the constituency.
