M Manjurul Karim Rony, general secretary of Gazipur Metropolitan unit BNP, on Sunday collected his nomination paper to contest the parliamentary election from Gazipur-2 constituency.
Rony along with his party leaders collected the nomination paper from the office of District Returning Officer and Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Alam Hossain in the afternoon.
After collecting the nomination papers, Rony said people have not been able to vote for 18 years and now they hope for a free and fair election on February 12. “We are optimistic that in this election, the BNP and the 'Sheaf of Paddy' symbol will win by a huge margin across Bangladesh.”
He said a vested quarter has engaged in conspiracies against polls, assuming they cannot win the election.
