Suranjit Sengupta was elected to Parliament from Sunamganj-2 on a Ganotantri Party nomination.[4] He left the Ganotantri Party in 2001 and joined Bangladesh Awami League.[5]
The Party's former President of the Party, Nurul Islam, died in a fire at his home in December 2009 before the 9th parliamentary election in which he was the candidate of the Grand Alliance in Noakhali-1.[6] There were some allegations from his allies and family members that he was murdered.[7][8]
