BNP's Mujibur wins Moulvibazar-4 seat

 BNP candidate Mujibur Rahman Chowdhury, contesting with the "Sheaf of Paddy" symbol, won Moulvibazar-4 constituency receiving a total of 170,877 votes, including postal ballots. 

His closest rival, Maulana Nure Alam Hamidi of Bangladesh Khelafat Majlis, secured 50,204 votes.  To mention, Moulvibazar-4 constituency, comprising Sreemangal and Kamalganj upazilas, had remained under the control of the Awami League since independence. No BNP candidate had ever won the seat in a national election. However, in the 13th National Parliamentary Election, a BNP candidate secured a landslide victory in the constituency after 55 years. 

According to the local residents, this is a landslide victory as this is the largest margin of victory for a BNP candidate among the 19 constituencies in the Sylhet Division.
Having been active in politics for 26 years, Haji Mujib reportedly gained significant support among tea garden workers, 26 ethnic minority communities, and minority Hindu voters. He also enjoyed notable backing from Muslim voters in rural areas.

He first contested the seat in 2001, facing strong competition from Awami League leader and seven-time Member of Parliament, former Agriculture Minister Abdus Shahid. In subsequent years, he faced multiple legal cases and allegations of harassment. Following the Awami League's return to power in 2009, he reportedly spent nearly four years in prison in connection with numerous cases.
