The Awami League had nominated former MP Talukdar Md Yunus in the constituency and now he needed to withdraw. The feud between the JaSaD and the Awami League in Kushtia has been evident for the past few years. A faction of the local Awami League refused to accept Inu in the past three elections. Mirpur Upazila Awami League leader Kamarul Arefin is running for the seat as an independent candidate and is backed by the local Awami League workers. While the Awami League candidate Kanailal Biswas withdrew from the race, Md Mohiuddin Moharaj, Pirojpur Awami League joint secretary, poses Manju a great challenge.
