Mohammad Nuruzzaman Badal, Jamaat-e-Islami’s MP candidate from Sherpur-3 constituency and the party's district secretary, passed away early Wednesday.
He breathed his last at around 1:30am while undergoing treatment for kidney complications at Swadesh Hospital in Mymensingh, said Sherpur district Jamaat Ameer Maulana Md Hafizur Rahman.
He said Nuruzzaman Badal had been suffering from kidney-related complications for a long time.
According to him, Badal fell ill at around 10pm on Tuesday, the night of Shab-e-Barat, and was first taken to Sreebardi Upazila Hospital.
As his condition worsened, he was moved to Mymensingh for advanced treatment, where he later died at Swadesh Hospital.
Following his death, a pall of gloom descended on his electoral area of Sreebardi–Jhenaigati upazilas.
Meanwhile, his rival BNP candidate Mahmudul Haque Rubel, along with leaders and activists of Jamaat-e-Islami, BNP, NCP and other political parties, as well as representatives of various local professional groups, expressed deep sorrow over the death of Jamaat leader Nuruzzaman Badal.
