The postponed 13th parliamentary election for Sherpur-3 (Sreebardi-Jhenaigati) constituency is set for April 9, 2026, and candidates are in the final stretch of campaigning. BNP’s Mahmudul Haque Rubel, Jamaat-e-Islami’s Masudur Rahman Masud, and BSD (Marxist)’s Mohammad Mizanur Rahman are contesting. Candidates are holding rallies, small meetings, and door-to-door visits, promising local development and outlining their future plans.

BNP’s Rubel, a three-time former MP, is leading a family-driven campaign to reclaim what was once a BNP stronghold, with his wife, daughter, and son engaging different voter groups. Jamaat’s Masud, a retired army officer and brother of late leader Nuruzzaman Badol, is leveraging his family’s legacy and organized party base. Voters report that the race is highly competitive, with both BNP and Jamaat maintaining strong support networks.

The election was rescheduled after Jamaat’s previous nominee died in February. Observers note that the outcome could reshape local political dynamics in Sherpur’s Sreebardi and Jhenaigati upazilas.
