BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has said that the upcoming national election might be his last.
Mirza Fakhrul, who has been nominated by the BNP to contest from Thakurgaon-1 constituency, made the remarks in a Facebook post on Monday afternoon, shortly after the party announced its list of probable candidates.
At the press conference announcing the list, he confirmed his own candidacy, saying, “In Thakurgaon-1, it’s me.”
Expressing gratitude to BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia and Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman for nominating him, Fakhrul also thanked party leaders and activists for standing by him throughout his political journey.
“By the grace of Almighty Allah, BNP has nominated me for Thakurgaon-1. I thank Begum Khaleda Zia, Tarique Rahman, and all leaders for their trust. To all party activists — thank you for being with me throughout my life,” he wrote.
In the same post, he added, “This election may be my last. Those who did not get nominations, please have faith — the party will surely give you due responsibility and respect in time. Pray for me, and for all our leaders and workers.”
Reflecting on his decades-long political journey, Fakhrul recalled personal sacrifices he and many others had made in politics.
“Those of us who have spent our lives in politics — gone to jail, endured struggles — we all have our own untold stories. I remember when I decided to return to politics in 1987, my daughters were very young, and my wife was shocked. She realized how uncertain a life we were stepping into,” he wrote, describing moments from his family life during those early political years.
Fakhrul said thousands of BNP leaders and activists have similar stories of sacrifice and dedication, underscoring their lifelong commitment to the party and the nation.
