BNP forms new committees in 4 cities, 5 districts

In a move to overhaul the party and prepare for the next national election, the BNP has announced new committees for its four metropolitan city and six district units.
The party yesterday issued a press release, signed by BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, in this regard.
Committees have been approved for the party’s Dhaka north, Chattogram, Barishal and Sylhet city units, and Moulvibazar, Sunamganj, Brahmanbaria, Kushtia, Mymensingh South, and Sherpur district units.
Aminul Haque, a former national football team captain, has been made the convener of the Dhaka north city BNP, while Mostafa Zaman has been named as the member secretary of the six-member partial convening committee.
Other joint conveners of the unit include Mostafizur Rahman Segun, SM Jahangir, Ferdowsi Ahmed Mishti and Abdur Razzak, who will also take on the role of office secretary.
This restructuring follows the dissolution of the previous convening committee for Dhaka north, headed by Saiful Alam Nirob.
The BNP dissolved the Dhaka north city unit’s convening committee on September 29, around two and a half months after its formation.
The previous committee was constituted on July 7, with a three-month deadline for the new leaders to form full committees.
