The Election Commission (EC) of Bangladesh has declared the Bogura-6 parliamentary seat vacant following BNP Chairperson Tarique Rahman’s decision to represent the Dhaka-17 constituency. EC Secretary Akhtar Ahmed issued a gazette notification on Monday, February 16, 2026, confirming the vacancy effective from the same date. The decision was made under Article 71(2)(a) of the Constitution after Rahman formally submitted a signed declaration expressing his intent to represent Dhaka-17.
In the 13th national election, Tarique Rahman contested and won from both Bogura-6 and Dhaka-17 constituencies. His party, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), secured a sweeping majority with victories in 212 seats. The EC’s announcement follows Rahman’s formal choice of constituency representation as required by law.
Newly elected members of parliament and cabinet members are scheduled to take oath on Tuesday, February 16, 2026, during which Tarique Rahman is set to be sworn in as the next Prime Minister of Bangladesh.
