Political activities in Sylhet-4 have intensified as BNP and Jamaat candidates ramp up their campaigns ahead of the upcoming election. BNP Chairperson’s adviser and former Sylhet City Mayor Ariful Haque Chowdhury, contesting as the BNP candidate, addressed party activists in Gowainghat, promising that if BNP returns to power, the region’s development landscape will change within a year. He emphasized that the area, rich in mineral resources, has long been deprived of development and employment opportunities. Ariful said he had discussed local development issues with Tarique Rahman, who assured full support. He also warned against attempts to disrupt the election and reaffirmed BNP’s stance against corruption and injustice. The day saw multiple rallies and processions, including a major show of support for Abdul Hakim Chowdhury and a separate march backing BNP aspirant Prolal Uddin Ahmed, signaling growing political momentum in the constituency.
