Md Asaduzzaman, former attorney general of Bangladesh, has won in the preliminary results of the 13th National Parliamentary Election as the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) candidate from the Jhenaidah-1 (Shailkupa) constituency.
Asaduzzaman stepped down from his role as the 17th Attorney General to contest the election. Prior to serving as the country’s top legal officer, he held positions as Human Rights Secretary of the BNP Central Executive Committee and as an adviser to late party chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia.
Voting in Jhenaidah-1 concluded on Thursday afternoon, with a reportedly high turnout as residents exercised their constitutional right. Election officials are expected to announce the official results in the coming days.
