Narsingdi: BNP Standing Committee Member Dr. Abdul Moyeen Khan today expressed optimism that a democratic government would be established through the people’s mandate in the 13th parliamentary election. Casting his vote at Charnagardi Government Primary School polling centre in Palash upazila of Narsingdi this morning, the BNP candidate for Narsingdi-2 (Palash) constituency said the people of Bangladesh are highly conscious about democracy and their voting rights.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the BNP candidate emphasized that the people of Bangladesh are aware of their political rights and believe in democracy and their right to vote. He communicated this sentiment to journalists after casting his vote, highlighting the importance of these democratic processes.
Referring to the electoral process, Moyeen Khan noted that a new democratic atmosphere has been created in the country through the election. He alleged that the nation had previously witnessed ‘four farcical and staged elections,’ but now voters are able to exercise their franchise in a fair environment. He attributed the present opportunity to the fall of autocracy through the student-people’s movement in 2024.
Describing himself as a ‘political worker, not a leader,’ Moyeen Khan stated that his political engagement is inspired by the ideals of Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman. He further remarked that politics holds no meaning if it does not ensure the welfare of the people. Khan expressed hope that a democratic government would be formed in accordance with the people’s mandate through today’s vote.
Among others, Palash upazila BNP President Abdus Sattar, Joint Secretary Bahauddin Bhuiyan Milton, municipal BNP President Alam Molla, and Thana Chhatra Dal General Secretary Mostafizur Rahman Papon were present at the polling centre.
