Awami League leader and former chairman Sohel Jahan Chowdhury of Eidgaon, Cox’s Bazar, was released on bail on Wednesday, February 25, 2026. Shortly after his release, he met with Lutfor Rahman Kajol, the newly elected BNP Member of Parliament for Cox’s Bazar-3, presenting him with a floral garland. The meeting took place in the presence of another recently bailed individual, Firoz Ahmad, along with BNP and affiliated organization leaders. Photos of the encounter quickly went viral on social media, sparking widespread discussion.
Local political observers noted that Sohel Jahan Chowdhury’s meeting with a BNP lawmaker could signal new political realignments within the upazila’s BNP circles. The event follows earlier controversy when, on January 28, Chowdhury publicly campaigned for the BNP’s election symbol, the paddy sheaf, across several areas of Eidgaon. The next morning, on January 29, he was detained from his home by a joint force.
The incident has drawn attention to shifting political dynamics in Eidgaon, where cross-party interactions are becoming increasingly visible.
