BNP on Tuesday expelled four of its local leaders, including the Meherpur district and Gangni upazila presidents, for their alleged involvement in violence, road blockade, and vandalism linked to the party’s nomination process.
The expulsion decision was announced in a press release by BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi.
The expelled leaders are Meherpur District BNP President Javed Masud Milton, Gangni Upazila BNP President Afaz Uddin Kalu, Meherpur District Jubo Dal General Secretary Kausar Ali, and Gangni Municipality BNP President Mokbul Hossain Meghla.
According to the press release, the four were removed from all party posts, including their primary membership, after being accused of engaging in clashes, vandalising the party office, and blocking the Meherpur–Kushtia highway near Gangni Bazar on Tuesday morning.
The incident occurred a day after BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir announced the list of 237 party candidates for the upcoming 13th parliamentary election at the chairperson’s office in Gulshan, Dhaka.
