In the 2021 race for Novi City Council, one candidate has already stumbled and been disqualified, while two others dropped out.
Less than a week after filing to run, Bin Qamruzzaman was disqualified as a candidate, for failure to file multiple documents relating to campaign finance, City Clerk Cortney Hanson said.
Qamruzzaman filed the paperwork to run for council on April 20, the filing deadline, but Hanson was notified by the Oakland County Elections Division in a letter that Qamruzzaman had not filed proper documents from his 2019 campaign and owed $2,800 in late fees. I didn t know about those late fees from two years ago, Qamruzzaman said on Monday. I didn t collect any money or spend any money in the last campaign, and I was running it myself and couldn t keep up with the workload.
