Rangpur-3 seat Ershad running on name value, Rita canvassingbdnews24.com :In the absence of candidate and party chief Hussein Muhammad Ershad, Jatiya Party activists are relying on the force of his name to press ahead with his election campaign in the Rangpur-3 constituency. Meanwhile, Ershad's main rival for the seat, Sheaf of Paddy candidate Rita Rahman has been canvassing the constituency door to door for votes. Former President Ershad won four out of the last five election races for the seat since 1991.
