Lutfur Rahman Khan Azad has been elected as a Member of Parliament from Tangail-3 (Ghatail) constituency for the fifth time. In the 13th National Parliamentary Election, unofficial results from 122 centers show that Azad, contesting as an independent candidate with the motorcycle symbol, received 106,794 votes. His nearest rival, BNP candidate Obaidul Haque Nasir, secured 81,734 votes.

Previously, Azad was elected four consecutive times from the same constituency as a BNP nominee with the paddy sheaf symbol. Despite being denied party nomination this time, he achieved a decisive victory as an independent. During his earlier terms, he also served as a state minister in various ministries.

The result underscores Azad’s continued influence in Tangail-3, where his personal political base appears to have remained strong even after losing party endorsement.
