BNP’s acting chairman Tarique Rahman is expected to visit Sunamganj after nearly two decades, with party sources indicating that he may address a public rally in the district town on January 22. Although the final schedule has not been officially announced, preparations are reportedly well advanced. The visit could mark the beginning of Rahman’s election campaign, which party insiders view as a significant milestone for local politics.

Rahman last visited Sunamganj in 2004, when he spoke at rallies in the town’s old bus stand and other haor areas including Tekerghat and Jamalganj. News of his possible return has sparked enthusiasm among BNP leaders and activists across the district. Discussions are also underway about holding additional gatherings in Shantiganj, Pagla, and nearby areas.

District BNP leaders said preparations are being made to hold the main rally at the Government Jubilee High School ground. Law enforcement sources noted that Rahman might also attend a rally in the Sunamganj-2 constituency, though no official confirmation has been issued yet.
