BNP pledges to fulfil people’s mandate: Dr Moyeen
BNP Standing Committee Member and newly elected MP from Narsingdi-2 Palash constituency, Dr. Abdul Moyeen Khan, on Friday pledged to fulfil the responsibilities entrusted to his party by the people over the next five years.
Speaking to journalists after visiting his parents’ graves in his native Charnagardi village of Palash upazila before Friday prayers, he said the people of Bangladesh had exercised their right to vote correctly, choosing those who have consistently worked for the welfare and development of the country.
“The people have given the responsibility of running the country to BNP, recognising the party’s past contributions to national development,” he said.
Dr. Moyeen Khan added that under the leadership of BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman, the party would steer the country towards development and establish Bangladesh in a respectable position globally.
“We do politics for the people, not for power. Thursday’s election proved that the people of Bangladesh love BNP,” he said.
He later congratulated party leaders and activists on their victory and pledged to work for the development of Palash.
Dr. Moyeen Khan secured 92,352 votes, while his nearest rival, Amjad Hossain of Daripalla, received 55,161 votes. Jamaat alliance candidate Md. Golam Sarwar Tushar, contesting under the Shapla Koli symbol, received 19,236 votes, reports UNB.
