Ahmedur Rahman Tanu, who received the National Citizen Party nomination for Narayanganj-5 seat, has scrapped his plan to contest in the parliamentary polls.
He announced the decision in a message sent to the media on Sunday.
Tanu is a member of the party’s central committee and also the joint coordinator of the party in Narayanganj. “I have decided to abandon my intention to participate in the election from NCP in light of the current political realities and personal considerations,” he said.
His announcement comes following NCP leaders resigning from the party over its decision to enter an alliance with the Jamaat-e-Islami.
Tanu said it was entirely his personal and political decision and that he was not motivated by any hostility toward any individual, group, or party. He, however, promises to continue working for the country.
Tanu is a director at the Narayanganj Chamber of Commerce and Industry. His father-in-law Abul Kalam was elected a lawmaker three times from the seat with a BNP ticket. Abul Kalam has collected nomination papers to contest in the general election.
Earlier, NCP senior joint member secretary Tasnim Jara announced that she will contest the upcoming parliamentary election in Dhaka-9 as an independent candidate.
Addressing residents of Khilgaon, Sabujbagh, and Mugda in a Facebook post, she explained that while she had long aspired to enter parliament through a political party platform, the current political realities compelled her to step away from contesting as a nominee of any party or alliance.
Describing herself as a “daughter of the area,” Jara emphasised her roots in Khilgaon and her longstanding commitment to the community. She recalled her earlier promise to fight for the people and contribute to building a new political culture in Bangladesh.
“Regardless of the circumstances, I remain determined to keep that promise. For this reason, I will contest the Dhaka-9 seat as an independent candidate,” she declared, signalling both her personal resolve and a commitment to principle over party alignment.
