In the 13th National Parliamentary Election, 20 out of 33 candidates in Sylhet’s six constituencies lost their security deposits. The unofficial results were announced on Thursday night by Sylhet’s Returning Officer and Deputy Commissioner Md. Sarwar Alam. According to the Election Commission’s circular, any candidate receiving less than one-eighth, or 12.5 percent, of total votes cast forfeits their deposit.
Among the constituencies, six candidates lost deposits in Sylhet-1, three in Sylhet-2, four in Sylhet-3, three in Sylhet-4, one in Sylhet-5, and three in Sylhet-6. In Sylhet-1, where 325,539 votes were cast, all six candidates except the winner and runner-up failed to retain their deposits. Similar patterns were observed across other constituencies, with vote counts and thresholds detailed for each.
A total of 33 candidates contested across the six Sylhet seats, with participation ranging from four to eight candidates per constituency. The results highlight the competitive nature of the election and the strict enforcement of the Election Commission’s deposit retention rule.
