BNP reshuffles Dhaka South leadership

The BNP has reshuffled its Dhaka South city unit, appointing Dhaka South City Corporation Administrator Abdus Salam as convener and Tanvir Ahmed Robin as member secretary in a move to strengthen the party’s organisational activities in the capital.
Abdus Salam replaces Rafiqul Alam Majnu, while Abdul Kader Bhuiyan Jewel has been appointed senior joint convener. ANM Saiful Islam has retained his position as joint convener.
The appointments were announced in a press release issued on Sunday and signed by BNP Assistant Office Secretary Muhammad Munir Hossain.
The reshuffle follows a broader reorganisation of the party’s organisational structure in Dhaka. 
On 1 November, the BNP announced a new partial committee for its Dhaka North city unit, appointing Dhaka North City Corporation Administrator Shafiqul Islam Khan Milton as convener and Dhaka-18 MP SM Jahangir Hossain as member secretary.
The previous 51-member Dhaka North convening committee, led by Aminul Haque and Mostafa Zaman, was dissolved on 30 September amid allegations of organisational indiscipline and unethical activities.
In Dhaka South, a 61-member convening committee was formed on 8 December 2024, with Majnu as convener and Robin as member secretary. It included 13 joint conveners and 46 members.
Before that, on 7 July 2024, the party had announced a two-member partial committee with the same leadership. The previous committee, led by Abdus Salam as convener and Majnu as member secretary, was dissolved on 13 June 2024.

With the latest changes, the administrators of both Dhaka city corporations are now leading the BNP’s respective city units.
Meanwhile, the BNP has formed a partial convening committee for the Dhaka North city unit of Jatiyatabadi Jubo Dal, its youth wing, appointing Mizanur Rahman Raj as convener and Shariful Islam Milon as member secretary. A full-fledged committee will be formed later, according to a separate press release.
Earlier, the party dissolved the committees of its Dhaka North city unit, Jubo Dal’s Dhaka North unit and Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal’s Dhaka West unit.
The organisational changes came amid allegations that some local BNP leaders were involved in the demolition of the Radda MCH healthcare centre, alongside other accusations of breaches of party discipline.
