Mahiya Mahi and Shakil Khan want to be independent candidates
Entertainment Report :
Several stars have bought party nomination forms to be selected as Awami League candidates.
Among the newcomers, film actor Ferdous has been nominated for Dhaka-10 seat.
As the rest did not get the party nomination, some are preparing to be elected independently. Actress Mahiya Mahi and actor Shakil Khan are in this list.
Actress Mahiya Mahi has chosen to run as an independent candidate in the Rajshahi-1 (Tanor-Godagari) constituency.
While talking in this regard, Mahiya Mahi said, “While I aspired to be nominated by the Awami League, I respect their decision and I have decided to participate in the election as an independent candidate.
As a dedicated worker of the Awami League, I see it as my duty to engage in a competitive election. I am now a contender in this competitive electoral process.”
Meanwhile, Shakil Khan, a former popular face in the film industry, submitted a nomination form for the Bagerhat-3 seat but was unsuccessful in securing the party’s nomination.
The actor plans on running as an independent candidate.
He disclosed his final decision after a discussion with the Prime Minister yesterday.
Shakil Khan stated, “Having served the people of Bagerhat for an extended period, I aspire to be elected as an independent representative of these constituents.
My competition is not against the party; rather, it is with the opposing candidate.”
