After the death of the previous MP of this constituency A. K. M. Shahjahan Kamal, new by-elections were taken on 5 November 2023.[2] However, the Bangladesh Election Commission has decided to cancel the results of the election after a video went viral online of a former Bangladesh Chhatra League leader (Awami League's student wing) is seen stamping the "boat" symbol of Awami League in 43 ballot papers in 57 seconds.[3]
