In the Gaibandha-3 (Sadullapur-Polashbari) constituency, eight out of ten candidates lost their election deposits after failing to secure the minimum required share of votes. The district election officer, Md. Shahidul Islam, confirmed that according to election rules, a candidate must obtain at least 12.5 percent of the total valid votes to retain their deposit. Those who failed to meet this threshold had their deposits forfeited.

The candidates who lost their deposits include Moinur Rabbi Chowdhury (Langol symbol), Suruj Mia (Truck), A.T.M. Awlad Hossain (Hand Fan), Abdullah Adil (Sickle), Mosaddikul Islam (Apple), Monjurul Haque (Pen), S.M. Khademul Islam Khudi (Horse), and Azizur Rahman (Dheki). Election officials noted that the lack of popularity among several candidates contributed to their inability to attract significant voter support.

The forfeiture highlights the competitive nature of the Gaibandha-3 race, where only a few candidates managed to secure notable public backing, reflecting shifting local political dynamics.
