The Rejinagar bypoll has taken an unexpected turn as Rabiul Alam Chowdhury, a candidate supported by the Mamata faction, withdrew his candidacy earlier this week. In a surprise development, he has now announced that he will continue to contest the seat.
The reversal comes at a crucial juncture in West Bengal’s electoral landscape, where parties are keen to secure footholds in key constituencies. Chowdhury’s decision to stay in the race may influence the balance of support among voters and affect the strategies of rival parties.
Observers note that the move underscores the fluid nature of alliances in the region, with candidates and parties frequently reassessing positions as the election draw near.
