Fiedling of grand alliance men dims AL prospects

Although Awami League (AL) bagged all the four seats in Habiganj district in 2001, this time it may not be possible to retain all of them due to fielding of candidates from the grand alliance, observe many people.
BNP did not get any seat in the district in last three elections, but
the BNP-led four-party alliance is trying their best this time to end the AL dominance in the district.
In Habiganj-1 (Nabiganj and Bahubal), Dewan Farid Gazi, a member of AL advisory body and former state minister, is a strong candidate who won the seat for three consecutive terms, while the four-party alliance has nominated Sheikh Sujat Miah.
In Habiganj-2, AL has nominated Advocate Abdul Mazid Khan in place of former lawmaker Nazmul Hasan Zahed.
Although AL claims Mazid as grand alliance candidate, Abid Ali Chowdhury of JP did not withdraw his candidature. Earlier, Abid was given the grand alliance ticket.
This is why local supporters of AL and JP are in a little trouble.
Dr Shakhawat Hossain Jibon, a new face in the area, is the candidate of BNP-led four-party alliance.
In Habiganj-3 (Sadar and Lakhai), four-party alliance has nominated Abu Lais Mobin Chowdhury while the AL has fielded Advocate Abu Zahir.
In Habiganj-4 (Madhab-pur and Chunarughat), Enamul Haque Mostafa Shahid is contesting with AL ticket. He has a good base and he is in the contest for the 4th consecutive term. But this time he would have a tough fight from Syed Mohammad Faisal, a candidate of 4-party alliance and a former state minister.
