Jatiya Party suspends Yahya Chowdhury

The Jatiya Party has suspended its Central Vice Chairman and for Member of Parliament from Sylhet-2 Constituency Yahya Chowdhury.

Jatiya Party Secretary MA Razzak Khan confirmed the news on Monday.

Yahya was previously accused of breaking party discipline and was served a show-cause notice. As his explanation was not satisfactory, party Chairman Ghulam Muhammed Quader approved the order of temporary suspension on the recommendation of party General Secretary Mujibul Chunnu, he said.

An allegation was found that Yahya Chowdhury sought votes for the Awami League-nominated candidate instead of the Jatiya Party’s mayoral candidate in the Sylhet City Corporation elections.
