Awami League-backed candidate Saira Mohsin, wife of late social welfare minister Syed Mohsin Ali, has been elected uncontested in the by-election to Moulvibazar 3 constituency.
Regional Election Officer SM Eajharul Haque, also the election’s returning officer, announced the unofficial result yesterday, the last day of withdrawing candidacy, as there was no other candidate in the race.
Mohsin, who was an MP from Moulvibazar 3, died on September 14 at Singapore General Hospital. Following his death, the EC fixed December 8 for the by-polls in order to fill up the vacant seat.
