Zakir Hossain Sarkar (born 4 August 1960)[1] is a Bangladeshi politician. He is a former Jatiya Sangsad member representing the Rangpur-5 constituency as an independent candidate in 2024.
Sarkar was an aspirant for the Awami League nomination for the Rangpur-5 constituency in the 2024 national election but failed to a secure party ticket. Then he decided to contest independently. His candidacy was declared illegal, but he got back his candidature through an appeal with the Bangladesh Election Commission.[2] Previously he served as chairman of Mithapukur Upazila Parishad of Rangpur twice.[3] He resigned from this post on 28 November 2023 to contest in the general election.[4]
