Following the post-election political developments in Sylhet-2 (Osmaninagar–Bishwanath), the name of BNP Joint Secretary General and foreign affairs adviser to party chairperson Tarique Rahman, Humayun Kabir, has become a major topic of discussion. Local BNP leaders and activists have demanded his inclusion in the new government’s cabinet, citing his role in maintaining party discipline. Kabir had initially sought nomination for the constituency but withdrew in deference to the party’s decision, which favored Tahsina Rushdir Luna. His acceptance of the decision and call for unity have been viewed as signs of political maturity.

Local BNP leaders noted Kabir’s long-standing involvement in foreign policy formulation and diplomatic engagement, describing him as a suitable candidate for a technocrat ministerial position. The issue has become a focal point of political discussion across the Sylhet division. Historically, no BNP leader from Sylhet-2 has ever joined the cabinet, and if selected, Kabir would be the first from the constituency to do so.

No official announcement has yet been made regarding the cabinet position, and the final decision now rests with the party’s top leadership.
