Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) candidate Syed M. Faisal has won the Habiganj-4 (Madhabpur-Chunarughat) constituency in the 13th National Parliamentary Election, marking the party’s return to the seat after nearly three decades. According to the official gazette, Faisal secured 188,072 votes under the paddy sheaf symbol, defeating Islami Front Bangladesh’s Gias Uddin At-Taheri, who received 84,323 votes. Faisal’s victory margin stood at 103,749 votes, sparking celebrations across the constituency as BNP supporters rejoiced at reclaiming the seat.

Faisal, who previously served as a Member of Parliament in 1996, has contested multiple elections since 1991. Despite facing political challenges and legal pressures, he maintained close ties with local residents. Analysts attribute his success to extensive grassroots campaigning, particularly outreach to tea garden workers led by his son Syed Shafkat Ahmed. Local observers described Faisal as an honest and dedicated politician with a clean image.

Following the result, residents expressed new hopes for development and suggested that Faisal’s inclusion in the cabinet would bring pride to Habiganj and strengthen administrative transparency.
