In Khulna-4, the nomination was contested between BNP information affairs secretary Azizul Bari Helal and UK BNP’s senior joint secretary Parvez Mallik, but the party ultimately nominated Helal.

Azizul Bari Helal said, “It is a great honor to represent my birthplace again with the symbol of the sheaf of paddy.”
