This is my favourite Bangladeshi politician. I've met Mahi twice and he's bowled me over. I for one am a big fan.
Mahi Badruddoza Chowdhury is a Bangladeshi politician and a member of the Jatiyo Sangshad or Bangladesh Parliament. He is the son of former Bangladeshi President A.Q.M. Badruddoza Chowdhury.
Political Career
Mahi Chowdhury was first elected to parliament in the 2001 parliamentary elections from Munshiganj District in central Bangladesh as a candidate on Bangladesh Nationalist Party ticket.
On June 21, 2001, his father Badruddoza Chowdhury resigned after being threatened with impeachment and removal from office by the BNP-led parliament under the charge of disrespecting BNP founder Ziaur Rahman. Mahi Chowdhury resigned from parliament and the BNP on March 10, 2004. He subsequently joined the Bikalpa Dhara-Bangladesh - (BDB) a political party founded by Badruddoza Chowdhury.
This resignation left a void in the Munshiganj-1 district, and the BNP-led government was determined to ensure that they retained the seat. A by-election was held on June 6, 2004. Despite considerable opposition from the BNP, Mahi Chowdhury managed to win the elections and enter parliament as an opposition member from the BDB party.
