Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman has pledged to establish Noakhali as a separate administrative division and create a city corporation if his party comes to power. He made the commitment on Friday, January 30, 2026, while addressing an election rally of the 11-party alliance at Noakhali Zilla School ground. Rahman said these demands of the local people would be implemented gradually through justice and fairness.

In his speech, the Jamaat leader also promised measures to prevent river erosion in Hatiya, Companiganj, and Subarnachar, construction of a closure on the Companiganj–Chhoto Feni River, and expansion of a railway line from Sonapur to Hatiya Chairman Ghat. He urged voters to support the alliance’s candidates in all six constituencies of Noakhali and expressed optimism about victory.

Rahman added that people across Bangladesh were rallying for justice and fairness, noting that the youth were eager to see a new Bangladesh from the 13th of the coming month.
