In Chandpur-4 (Faridganj) constituency, the official BNP candidate and a rebel independent candidate have filed written complaints against each other with the returning officer, accusing one another of arson, vandalism, and violent attacks in the run-up to the election. The incidents reportedly include attempts to set fire to a BNP election office in Paikpara Dakshin Union’s Gazipur area on the night of January 31, 2026, and the tearing down of posters and banners in Gupti Purba Union.

Local BNP leader Abul Hossain alleged that deliberate acts of arson and vandalism were aimed at disrupting the electoral environment. Meanwhile, supporters of rebel candidate M.A. Hannan claimed that a crude bomb exploded after a rally in Khajuria Bazar, Gupti Paschim Union. They also alleged assaults, threats, and police abuse against campaign workers in several unions. Hannan’s chief agent, Abul Kalam Azad, submitted a written complaint citing these incidents and injuries to a local organizer.

Azad stated that the ongoing violence and intimidation have created uncertainty about the possibility of a fair election in the constituency.
