Md. Nazrul Islam : Former successful Union Parishad Member Maksud Alam has emerged as a widely discussed potential candidate for the position of Chairman of Joyag Union Parishad No. 01 under Sonaimuri Upazila. Owing to his long-standing political and social involvement, organisational skills, and close connection with the local community, he is regarded as a well-known and widely accepted public figure.
Maksud Alam served as a member of the Joyag Union BNP for approximately 15 years. He has also played significant roles in party politics as the Joint Convener of the Joyag Union BNP and a former member of the Sonaimuri Upazila BNP.

Associated with the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) since 1991, Maksud Alam is recognised as a dedicated party activist.
