Rumeen Farhana, Independent candidate in the Brahmanbaria-2 constituency, will contest the upcoming 13th National Parliamentary Election with ‘Duck’ as her electoral symbol.
The symbol was formally allocated on Wednesday at the office of the Deputy Commissioner and Returning Officer in Brahmanbaria during the distribution of election symbols among candidates.
Reacting to the allocation, Rumeen Farhana expressed enthusiasm and gratitude, describing the symbol as one closely associated with her supporters.
Speaking to journalists, she said her voters and activists were the driving force behind her political journey.

Describing herself as a representative of ordinary people, Rumeen Farhana said she would work in line with the wishes of the voters of Brahmanbaria-2 if elected.
