Explaining the cancellation, Returning Officer Suraiya Jahan noted that Major (retd.) Abdul Mannan has been accused of defaulting in various banks, as per a report of the Credit Information Bureau (CIB).
Apart from this, he has some Tk3.29 lakh unpaid taxes which rendered him ineligible to contest the upcoming 12th parliamentary election.
Earlier, the lawmaker's nomination application for Noakhali-4 constituency had also been dismissed on identical grounds.
