One of four independent runners hopeful
Four candidates are contesting in the upcoming election as independents in the district.
They are Advocate Anwarul Islam in Moulvibazar-1 (Baralekha and Juri) constituency with football symbol, MM Shahin in Moulvibazar-2 (Kulaura and 4 unions of Kamalganj) constituency also with football symbol, Dewan Shamim Afzal in Moulvibazar-3 (Sadar and Rajnagar) constituency with football symbol and Pankaj Awlesious Kondo in Moulvibazar-4 (Srimongal and 5 unions of Kamalganj) constituency with pitcher symbol.
Prospect of one but all is bleak. He is MM Shahin of Moulvibazar-2 constituency. A tough fight is likely to take place between him and grand alliance candidate Nawab Ali Abbas Khan of Jatiya Party.
In 2001 election also, he contested as an independent candidate and won the election defeating the AL candidate.
Basically, he was a BNP leader. But he contested as an independent candidate after being deprived of party ticket. However, a large number of BNP men still back him although there is a BNP candidate in poll race.
