Politician Humayun Kabir announced he will leave politics, protesting what he described as loot in the recent Rejinagar assembly by‑poll.
The Rejinagar assembly constituency in West Bengal recently held a by‑poll to fill a vacant seat. The election, closely watched by local parties, concluded amid accusations of irregularities.
Humayun Kabir, a senior political figure, publicly declared that he will quit politics. He said the decision stems from his belief that the by‑poll was marred by a "loot" that undermines democratic fairness.
Kabir did not provide specific details about the alleged misconduct, but his statement has sparked discussion among party members and observers. No official response from the election commission or competing candidates has been reported yet.
The development adds a new dimension to the political discourse in the region, highlighting concerns over electoral integrity ahead of upcoming state elections.
