Mufti Syed Mohammad Faizul Karim, senior Nayeb-e-Ameer of Islami Andolan Bangladesh, faced defeat in both Barishal Sadar-5 and Barishal-6 (Bakerganj) constituencies during the 13th National Parliamentary Election. In Barishal Sadar-5, BNP candidate Advocate Mojibur Rahman Sarwar won with 130,006 votes under the paddy sheaf symbol, while Faizul Karim, contesting with the hand fan symbol, received 93,216 votes. The constituency had 468,569 registered voters, with a 48 percent turnout.

In Barishal-6 (Bakerganj), BNP’s Abul Hossain Khan secured victory with 81,087 votes, followed by Jamaat-e-Islami’s Md. Mahamudunnabi with 54,533 votes. Faizul Karim finished third with 28,823 votes. The results were announced by Assistant Returning Officer and Upazila Nirbahi Officer Rumana Afroze. The constituency had 295,509 voters, and 170,000 votes were cast.

Following the defeats, Islami Andolan supporters expressed disappointment. Political observers cited strained relations with Jamaat-e-Islami and voter resentment as possible reasons for the losses.
