Khelafat Majlis, a key ally of the Jamaat coalition, faced major setbacks in the recent elections in Habiganj. Party Amir Maulana Abdul Basit Azad lost to BNP candidate Dr. Jibon in the Habiganj-2 (Baniachong-Ajmiriganj) constituency. Azad received 65,762 votes, while Dr. Jibon secured 126,583 votes. Both candidates are residents of Baniachong upazila.
Similarly, Khelafat Majlis Secretary General Dr. Ahmad Abdul Kader was defeated in the Habiganj-4 (Madhabpur-Chunarughat) constituency. He obtained only 26,465 votes, whereas BNP’s Syed Md. Foysal won with 188,072 votes. Both Kader and Foysal are from Madhabpur upazila.
The results mark a significant electoral loss for Khelafat Majlis leadership within the Jamaat alliance, as both top leaders failed to secure their constituencies against BNP contenders.
