BNP leader Tajkin Ahmed, Joint Convenor of Satkhira BNP, has given a 7-day ultimatum to Satkhira's UNO Ishtiaq Ahmed to hand over the mayoral office, presenting a copy of a High Court stay order. Ahmed claims that the office was illegally vacated in November 2023 by the former government out of political revenge. Despite a subsequent move by the ministry to prepare for a by-election, the court intervened, stating there was no legal barrier to him serving as mayor.
