National Citizen Party (South) chief organizer Hasnat Abdullah announced he will contest the upcoming Comilla-4 (Debidwar) parliamentary election independently, even if he receives only ten votes. Speaking at a campaign rally in Rajamehar village, he rejected the idea of forming alliances, emphasizing loyalty to party principles over political expediency. Abdullah said his supporters include educated youth and university students who are actively engaging with his campaign.

He outlined a series of pledges focusing on women’s education, employment training, and empowerment, as well as initiatives for religious clerics to gain small business support through microcredit. Abdullah also proposed scholarship and monitoring programs for meritorious students and language training centers to prepare migrant workers for better opportunities abroad. He criticized false campaign promises about household gas supply, calling them misleading and economically unsustainable.

Abdullah’s independent stance highlights growing local-level political diversification in Bangladesh’s electoral landscape, where smaller parties seek to assert identity amid dominant alliances. His campaign themes reflect a focus on social reform and grassroots empowerment.
