In the 13th National Parliamentary Election, 17 out of 25 candidates in three constituencies of Madaripur lost their security deposits due to failing to secure the required number of votes. The results showed close contests among leading candidates, but most others could not gather significant voter support.
In Madaripur-1, Bangladesh Khelafat Majlish candidate Sayeed Uddin Ahmed Hanjala won with 64,909 votes, narrowly defeating BNP’s Nadira Akter, who received 64,528 votes. In Madaripur-2, BNP’s Jahandar Ali Mia won with 61,744 votes, while in Madaripur-3, BNP’s Anisur Rahman Khokon Talukdar secured victory with 96,188 votes. Voter turnout ranged from 44 to 56 percent across the three constituencies, with several thousand votes declared invalid.
Analysis of the results indicated that despite competitive races among top contenders, a large portion of candidates failed to achieve the minimum vote threshold, resulting in a high rate of deposit forfeiture across the district.
