Humayun Kabir's Dual Victory in Murshidabad: A Political Shake-Up

Aam Janata Unnayan Party (AJUP) chief, Humayun Kabir, wins the Nowda and Rejinagar seats in Murshidabad. Kabir's victory is especially notable as he was suspended from TMC last December. Despite a setback with AIMIM, Kabir's new party emerged triumphantly, garnering significant public support in just four months.

Humayun Kabir, chief of the Aam Janata Unnayan Party (AJUP), achieved a dual victory in the Murshidabad district of West Bengal on Monday, clinching both Nowda and Rejinagar seats, as per the Election Commission.

Kabir, once a member of the TMC and expelled in December due to his controversial plan for a mosque resembling the Babri Masjid in Beldanga, garnered a remarkable 86,463 votes in Nowda, defeating BJP's Rana Mandal by a significant margin of 27,943 votes. The TMC's candidate, Sahina Momtaz Khan, trailed in third place.

Kabir's lead was even more pronounced in Rejinagar, amassing 1,23,536 votes, overshadowing BJP's Bapan Ghosh, who secured 64,660 votes. Kabir's resounding success comes merely four months after AJUP's inception, despite a setback where AIMIM severed ties over a controversial video.
