The nomination of Bikalpa Dhara Bangladesh Secretary General Major (retd) Abdul Mannan for the Lakshmipur-4 constituency has been cancelled due to allegations of loan defaults.

Abdul Mannan is the current member of parliament (MP) of the Lakshmipur-4 (Ramgoti and Komolnagar) constituency.

Deputy Commissioner Suraiya Jahan, also the district returning officer, confirmed the matter on Monday (4 December) afternoon.

Returning Officer Suraiya Jahan said Major (retd) Abdul Mannan has been accused of defaulting in various banks, as per a report of the Credit Information Bureau (CIB).

Besides, he has some Tk 3.29 lakh unpaid taxes which rendered him ineligible to contest the upcoming national election.
