DHAKA: Former PM Khaleda Zia’s son and BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman on Saturday completed formalities to enlist himself as a Bangladesh voter and obtain a national identity (NID) card, two days after his return from over 17 years of self-exile in London. The 60-year-old visited the Election Commission office under tight security, where he provided fingerprints and iris scans for biometric enrollment. He will contest the Feb 12 parliamentary polls – his first – from his ancestral Bogura Sadar constituency.
