At least 32 aspirants want to take on BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia in Bogura-6 and-7 constituencies in the upcoming parliamentary election, scheduled to be held on December 30.

Of them, 23 are from the ruling Awami League, five from the Jatiya Party, and four from the Left Democratic Alliance. They collected nomination forms from their parties.

On November 12, BNP senior leaders collected three nomination forms on behalf of Khaleda, who is now in jail, for Feni-1 and Bogura-6 and-7.  These constituencies are considered BNP's strongholds.
