Humayun Kabir, a Trinamool Congress MLA, has publicly announced his decision to retire from political life. Kabir cited his frustration with the conduct of the recent Rejinagar bypoll as the primary motivation for his departure. He alleged that residents in the constituency were prevented from casting their votes, characterizing the event as a 'loot' of the democratic process.

Kabir expressed that his inability to effectively address or protest this perceived injustice within the current political framework has rendered his position untenable. He stated that he intends to hold a public meeting following the Durga Puja celebrations to apologize to his constituents for his inability to prevent the alleged irregularities. While Kabir has framed his exit as a protest against the integrity of the election, he has not yet filed a formal resignation with the legislative assembly. The party leadership has not issued an official response to his comments at this time.
