The Election Commission (EC) has issued a warning to Sarowar Jamal Nizam, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) candidate for Chattogram-13, over alleged violations of the electoral code of conduct ahead of the upcoming 12th National Parliamentary Election. A letter from the EC Secretariat dated February 7, 2026, stated that certain campaign activities on social media had come to the attention of the Electoral Inquiry and Adjudication Committee and might conflict with the prescribed regulations.
The letter reminded that under the Political Parties and Candidates’ Code of Conduct 2025, no unauthorized campaign activities are permitted before the official campaign period. The EC cautioned that repeated violations could lead to legal action, including fines or cancellation of candidacy, under relevant provisions of the Representation of the People Order, 1972. The letter, signed by EC Deputy Secretary (Law) Mohammad Didar Hossain, was also circulated to related offices.
The EC emphasized that all candidates and stakeholders must strictly adhere to the code of conduct to ensure a free and fair election. The same candidate had previously been served a show-cause notice by the EC’s Electoral Inquiry and Adjudication Committee.
