The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has unveiled a list of 237 potential candidates for the upcoming 13th National Parliament elections, notably excluding party leader Rumeen Farhana. Her name was expected for the Brahmanbaria-2 (Sarail-Ashuganj) constituency, but the party has yet to announce any nominee for that seat. The list was officially presented on Monday evening at BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s Gulshan office by Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir. Earlier, acting chairman Tarique Rahman led a meeting of the party’s standing committee to finalize the preliminary list. Fakhrul mentioned that after 16 years, Bangladesh is heading toward a democratic election scheduled for February. He also confirmed that BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia will contest from Dinajpur-3, Bogura-7, and Feni-1, while Tarique Rahman will compete in Bogura-6. Senior BNP leaders attended the press conference announcing the list.
