Two candidates in the Bogura-3 (Adamdighi-Dupchanchia) constituency lost their security deposits in the parliamentary election held on February 12, 2026. According to the Upazila Election Office, under election rules, a candidate forfeits their deposit if they fail to secure one-eighth (12.5%) of the total votes cast. Out of 339,181 registered voters, 243,794 cast their ballots, with 4,198 votes declared invalid, resulting in a turnout of 73.10 percent.

National Party candidate Shahinul Islam, who contested with the plough symbol, received 1,475 votes, while Islami Andolan Bangladesh candidate Shahjahan Ali Talukder, with the hand fan symbol, obtained 1,771 votes. Both failed to reach the required vote threshold. The election results show that BNP’s candidate Abdul Mohit Talukder, running with the sheaf of paddy symbol, won the seat with 127,406 votes. His closest rival, Jamaat-e-Islami’s Nur Mohammad Abu Taher, received 111,026 votes.

The forfeiture of deposits underscores the wide vote gap between the leading candidates and the lower-performing contenders in the Bogura-3 race.
