Three candidates omit UK assets, citizenship in affidavits

Several candidates in the upcoming parliamentary election have withheld information about significant overseas assets and, in some cases, foreign citizenship from their mandatory affidavits, official filings and UK corporate records show.

The discrepancies involve BNP and Gono Odhikar Parishad nominees, who are listed as British nationals or directors of UK-based companies in British corporate records, despite declaring otherwise to the Election Commission.
