On the other hand, Prof Mujibur Rahman, Central Senior Nayeb-e-Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami, is contesting as the party-nominated candidate with the party symbol 'Scales'. Two other candidates are also in the race: Meer Muhammad Shahjahan of Gono Adhiker Parishad, contesting with the 'Truck' symbol, and Abdur Rahman of Amar Bangladesh Party, contesting with the 'Eagle' symbol. Political analysts said the main contest is expected to be between the BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami candidates, a scenario that is becoming increasingly common across the country. Meanwhile, Jamaat-e-Islami candidate Prof Mujibur Rahman is carrying out extensive electioneering across the constituency in support of the Scales symbol. The local Jamaat-e-Islami unit held an election rally at Kalma Union on Thursday afternoon, with Prof Mujibur Rahman attending as the chief guest.
