In Sylhet-2 constituency, two influential factions of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) have announced unity in support of the party’s paddy sheaf symbol ahead of the upcoming national parliamentary election. The declaration came after years of internal disputes that had divided the local BNP into two camps led by Joint Secretary General Humayun Kabir and central leader Tahsina Rushdir Luna. The formal announcement was made at a coordination meeting held at the Lavista Hotel in Sylhet city, chaired by district BNP president Abdul Koyum Chowdhury.

According to party sources, earlier misunderstandings and misinformation had caused long-standing divisions and sidelined many grassroots activists. Central intervention helped resolve the conflict, with Chowdhury assigned to coordinate between the two groups. At the meeting, Luna urged all members to forget past differences and work together for victory, while Chowdhury emphasized unity, discipline, and grassroots strength.

The meeting also decided to hold two worker gatherings in Osmani Nagar and Bishwanath upazilas on February 2 or 3 in the presence of Humayun Kabir to strengthen organizational activities ahead of the election.
