Bin Yamin Mollah, the candidate from Gono Odhikar Parishad for the Kurigram-1 (Nageshwari–Bhurungamari) constituency, has decided to step back from the election race today. He announced his support for Anwarul Islam from Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, emphasizing that his decision is in the best interest of the people and their rights.
Speaking at a Jamaat rally held at the DM Academy Football Ground in Nageshwari upazila, Bin Yamin stated, “To prioritize the well-being of the public and uphold their rights, I am fully endorsing Jamaat-e-Islami candidate Anwarul Islam and withdrawing from the electoral contest. This action is both a moral obligation and a political necessity.”
The rally, chaired by Azizur Rahman Sarkar, the head of Jamaat-e-Islami Kurigram district unit, featured Anwarul Islam, the candidate for Kurigram-1, as the main speaker. The event also saw the presence of Abdul Matin Faruqi, the former chief of the district unit, as a special guest.
During the speeches, Jamaat leaders discussed the forthcoming national parliamentary election, presenting a roadmap for state governance, good governance, and the protection of fundamental rights. They encouraged voters to unite for the advancement of a fair society and to bring about change through the electoral process.
Highlighting the substantial turnout at the rally, Jamaat leaders expressed optimism about the increasing public interest in what they referred to as an alternative political approach in Kurigram. As the election draws near, they noted a heightened level of competitiveness and vibrancy in the political environment within the district.
According to the district election office, there are a total of 28 candidates vying for positions in the four parliamentary constituencies in Kurigram district, with six contenders currently competing for Kurigram-1.
