Elections[edit]

Elections in the 2010s[edit]

Rejwan Ahmed Toufiq was re-elected unopposed in the 2014 general election after opposition parties withdrew their candidacies in a boycott of the election.[7]

In April 2013, Abdul Hamid became President of Bangladesh, vacating his parliamentary seat. Rejwan Ahmed Toufiq, his son, stood as an Awami League candidate in the resulting July 2013 by-election, and was elected.[8]
