Alongside them, former Joint Convener M. Kafil Uddin, Dhaka North City Corporation Administrator Shafiqul Islam Khan Milton, and Dhaka-18 MP S.M. Jahangir Hossain are also under consideration.According to a section of party leaders and activists, organizational experience, grass-roots communication, coordination among activists, and personal image could be key criteria in selecting the new leadership. In particular, the ability to keep the organization active at the ward and থানা (thana) levels across the capital while fostering coordination will carry significant weight.For the General Secretary post, discussions center around former Senior Member of Dhaka Metropolitan North BNP Anwaruzzaman Anwar, former Senior Joint Convener Mostafizur Rahman Segun, and a few others. Concerned activists believe that experience in holding various organizational roles and strong connections with the grass-roots are being given priority in these deliberations.Meanwhile, interest has also grown around former Member Secretary Mostafa Zaman regarding the new leadership. A section of his supporters and party activists believe his prior experience in managing the organizational activities of Dhaka Metropolitan North BNP, along with his communication and coordination across different tiers, could be taken into account during the committee formation.Another section of party leaders feels that M. Kafil Uddin is being considered for the President post due to his long political career, active participation in movements and struggles, organizational acumen, and involvement in social activities.They maintain that when distributing responsibilities in the new committee, the focus should extend beyond past designations to include organizational track records, social engagement, personal reputation, and local acceptability. However, the evaluation of party policymakers will ultimately determine the final decision. Party sources claim that assessing potential leaders' political and organizational activities, acceptability, and clean image is receiving top priority. One source noted that several separate groups are working to gather and verify information in this regard, though no official statement has been issued by the BNP. On September 30, the expired 51-member committee of Dhaka Metropolitan North BNP—headed by Aminul Huq as convener and Mostafa Zaman as member secretary—was dissolved.The incoming committee will face the challenge of strengthening organizational activities at the ward and থানা (thana) levels, enhancing coordination among activists, maintaining connection with the public, and ensuring party discipline. As discussions persist over who will secure the top spots, leaders and activists remain in anticipation of the official announcement.
