Bangladesh: Two interim government representatives quit, Asif Mahmud Sajeeb Bhuiyan to contest general polls
Two student representatives in Bangladesh’s interim government, Asif Mahmud Sajeeb Bhuiyan and Mahfuz Alam, have resigned from their positions, according to media reports.
Both had represented the student leaders who played a pivotal role in the July–August 2024 uprising, which ultimately led to the fall of the former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina-led government.
During their tenure, Asif Mahmud Sajeeb Bhuiyan headed the Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives and the Ministry of Youth and Sports, while Mahfuz Alam served as Adviser for the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, reported Daily Asian Age.
Following his resignation, Asif Mahmud Sajeeb Bhuiyan announced on Facebook that he will contest as an independent candidate from Dhaka-10 in the upcoming Bangladesh general elections, likely to be held next year.
The Dhaka-10 constituency, which covers Dhanmondi, Kalabagan, New Market, and Hazaribagh, now includes him as a registered voter, he confirmed to Bangla News 24.
