Within Brahmanbaria-4, BNP stronghold tensions grew as prominent aspirants Engineer Nazmul Huda Khondaker and Kabir Ahmed Bhuiyan the elder brother of Tarique Rahman’s close associate Abdur Rahman Sani were left out of the final list.
When asked about the selection process, District BNP General Secretary Sirajul Islam stated:
‘মনোনয়নের ক্ষেত্রে দলের ভারপ্রাপ্ত চেয়ারম্যানের সিদ্ধান্তই চূড়ান্ত। তিনি সব বিষয়ে চুলচেরা বিশ্লেষণ করেই প্রার্থী মনোনয়ন দিয়েছেন। আমরা দলের মনোনীত প্রার্থীদের জন্য কাজ করব।’
Translation:“The acting chairman’s decision is final. He made the nominations after thorough analysis, and we will work for the officially nominated candidates.”
