ATM Azam Khan, the Jamaat-e-Islami candidate for Rangpur-4 (Pirganj and Kaunia), has withdrawn from the election to support Akhtar Hossain, the member secretary of the National Citizen Party (NCP). He confirmed the decision on Monday, citing alliance consensus as the reason for his withdrawal. In a Facebook post, Khan said he was stepping aside in the interest of broader national unity and expressed full support for the alliance-nominated candidate. Khan described his decision as a necessary organizational step to strengthen collective efforts for the rights of the people of Pirganj and Kaunia. He thanked local residents for their support and expressed gratitude to his colleagues and supporters, including those living abroad. He also apologized for any unintended offenses during his campaign duties and urged everyone to work together to ensure the victory of the alliance candidate. The decision reflects internal coordination within the alliance in Rangpur-4, aiming to consolidate support behind a single candidate for the upcoming election.
