Ahead of the national election expected in February, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami has finalised its list of candidates and launched full-scale campaigning. BNP is also expected to finalise its candidates within this month. National Citizen Party (NCP), on the other hand, is working on forming district and metropolitan convening committees within a month.
Alongside potential candidates, party activists of Jamaat are going door to door distributing leaflets, seeking votes for their nominees, and even delivering voter numbers to households.
Multiple aspirants in the same constituencies, as well as factional divisions within the party, have slowed BNP’s election preparations. Nomination hopefuls are busy lobbying for party endorsement and running individual campaigns, making internal rivalries and group politics increasingly visible. This has created uncertainty among grassroots activists, supporters, and voters. Nomination aspirants are campaigning locally while also rushing to the party’s central office in hopes of securing the ticket.বিস্তারিত
