Hundreds of candidates across Bangladesh lost their election deposits in the 13th national parliamentary elections held nationwide. Reports from multiple districts, including Sirajganj, Dinajpur, Rajshahi, Gazipur, Cumilla, Tangail, and others, confirmed that many contestants failed to secure the minimum required votes to retain their deposits. In Sirajganj alone, 27 out of 39 candidates lost their deposits, while in Cumilla, 57 out of 83 candidates faced the same outcome. According to election officials, candidates who failed to obtain one-eighth of the total valid votes in their constituencies forfeited their deposits.
District correspondents reported similar results in Dinajpur, Gaibandha, Pirojpur, Barguna, and other regions. Notably, several prominent figures, including a five-time MP from the Jatiya Party, also lost their deposits. The forfeitures affected candidates from various political parties such as the BNP, Jamaat-e-Islami, Jatiya Party, Islami Andolan Bangladesh, and several independent contenders.
The widespread loss of deposits highlights the competitive nature of the election and the uneven distribution of voter support across constituencies, as confirmed by returning officers in multiple districts.
