The High Court (HC) has issued a stay order of the gazette notification on results of the national elections for the Dhaka-4 constituency.

The HC bench of Abu Taher Md Saifur Rahman and Justice Md Bashir Ullah passed the order on Tuesday (Jan 9) after hearing a writ petition by Awami League nominee Sanjida Khanam, who lost to independent candidate Awlad Hossain.

She sought re-elections in 18 of the polling centres for this seat.

The court has directed the Election Commission (EC) to refrain from publishing a gazette declaring independent candidate Awlad Hossain as the winner until the investigation is completed.


The Dhaka-4 constituency comprises Sutrapur and Demra upazilas. In this constituency, independent candidate Awlad Hossain with the Truck symbol defeated the Awami League's nominated candidate Sanjida Khanam with the Boat symbol.

Awlad Hossain received a total of 24,775 votes, while Sanjida Khanam secured 22,577 votes with the Boat symbol. The Jatiya Party candidate Syed Abu Hossain Babla, with the Plough symbol, received 7,798 votes.
