In the 13th National Parliamentary Election for Netrakona-4 constituency (comprising Madan, Mohanganj, and Khaliajuri), BNP leader and former state minister for home affairs Lutfozzaman Babar won with 160,801 votes. His nearest rival, Jamaat-e-Islami candidate Al Helal Talukder, received 39,309 votes. Three other candidates—Joly Talukder of the Communist Party, Champa Rani Sarkar of the Revolutionary Workers Party, and Mokhlesur Rahman of Islami Andolan Bangladesh—failed to secure enough votes to retain their deposits.

According to the returning officer’s office, Netrakona-4 had 375,312 registered voters, with 206,307 valid votes cast and 6,106 votes canceled, marking a turnout of 56.60 percent. A candidate needed at least 12.5 percent of the valid votes, or 25,788 votes, to recover their deposit. Joly Talukder received 3,359 votes, Champa Rani Sarkar 282 votes, and Mokhlesur Rahman 2,025 votes.

Local BNP leaders said Babar’s past development work and employment initiatives in the haor region contributed to his wide margin of victory, leading several rival candidates to lose their deposits.
