BNP is preparing to hold its Faridpur district conference by July 12, local leaders say.
The central party asked all unit committees to finish meetings by that date. It warned it would dissolve non-compliant district and city committees.
Following the strict order, ward, union, and subdistrict units have launched their meetings.
Top leaders hope all units complete their sessions quickly. They aim to wrap up by July 10, ahead of the main conference.
Grassroots activists and local supporters seem energized. Many hopeful candidates are campaigning actively, offline and online. Social media buzz is rising, though it feels a bit scattered.
Several names appear prominent in the race. For district president, Advocate Syed Moderes Ali Isa, former Jubo Dal vice‑chair Mahbubul Hasan Bhuiyan “Pinku,” former organizing secretary Rashidul Islam Liton, and joint convener Afzal Hossain Khan Palash are among those discussed.
For general secretary, current secretary AKM Kibria Swapon, joint convener Syed Zulfikar Hossain Jewel, and central committee member AKM Kibria Swapon are mentioned.
Some local activists favor Pinku for president. They say he stayed close to grassroots workers and aided vulnerable people. They speak highly of his steady presence over 17 years.
Others back Rashidul Islam Liton. Supporters highlight his clean image, dedication to public welfare, and close ties with workers at ward level.
Meanwhile, AKM Kibria Swapon has drawn praise from youth activists for his integrity. A former student and youth leader, he is seen as a principled grassroots organizer.
Meetings at ward and union levels remain underway. Supporters say the local office has a festive mood, with hope and excitement floating around.
But reaching a consensus remains uncertain. Campaigning varies in tone and intensity across units. Some leaders say they sense a mild tension, though many still feel upbeat.
With election day approaching, the core question looms: will local support for Pinku, Liton or Swapon shape final appointments? Or will central influence tip the balance?
BNP’s Faridpur district conference will mark a key moment for the party’s local strength. Can it channel enthusiasm into unity? Or will competition muddy the waters?
