The initial nomination sparked discontent among local BNP leaders and activists, particularly due to Mushfiqur Rahman's age factor.
Party insiders said grassroots pressure and organisational considerations played a role in the decision to revise the nomination.
Kabir Ahmed Bhuiyan is regarded as a long-time and influential BNP leader in Brahmanbaria district. He has previously faced political persecution and was a victim of enforced disappeared, according to party sources.
