In Kushtia-1 (Daulatpur), six candidates lost deposits; in Kushtia-2 (Mirpur-Veramara), three; in Kushtia-3 (Sadar), four; and in Kushtia-4 (Kumarkhali-Khoksa), four. The affected candidates represented parties including JSD, Islami Andolan Bangladesh, Bangladesh Communist Party, and others, as well as one independent contender.
