Abdus Satter to contest by-polls to his left seat

BNP leader Abdus Satter will contest the by-election to Brahmanbaria-2 constituency, which is now vacant following his resignation from parliament recently.

One Saad Mohammad Rashid on behalf of him collected a nomination paper on Sunday afternoon, said district election officer Zillur Rahman.

Party and local sources said veteran BNP politician Abdus Satter stepped down as parliament member on December 11 in line with the party's high command's decision.

On Thursday, he also resigned from all BNP posts, including its chairperson's adviser.

The by-polls to Brahmanbaria-2 constituency will, however, be held on February 1.
