Election campaigning has intensified across Bogura and northern Bangladesh ahead of the 13th parliamentary election and referendum. Following BNP Chairperson Tarique Rahman’s recent visit to Bogura, local party activities have gained new momentum. Rahman, contesting from Bogura Sadar-6 constituency with the paddy sheaf symbol, addressed a rally at Altafunnesa Field after 19 years and later issued directives to strengthen grassroots outreach. BNP activists are now conducting door-to-door campaigns across the district to seek votes.
According to the Election Commission, Bogura’s 12 upazilas have seven parliamentary constituencies with a total of 2.956 million voters, including 1.467 million men and 1.488 million women. Local BNP units have appointed coordinators in unions, municipalities, and wards to organize campaign efforts. The party is promoting promises such as family, health, and farmer cards as part of its development agenda.
District BNP leaders said Rahman’s visit has energized activists and improved voter engagement. They expressed optimism about reclaiming Bogura’s seven constituencies, historically seen as a BNP stronghold.
