Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury has been declared winner unofficially in Rangpur 6 constituency.
Returning Officer Farid Ahmed made the announcement in the morning as Shirin Sharmin is the only candidate in the by-poll.
He made the announcement after scrutinising the nomination paper at around 11:15am.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was elected in Rangpur 6 and Gopalganj 3 seats in the January 5 election. Later she vacated Rangpur 6 constituency.
According to the electoral rule, the Election Commission can announce Shirin the winner if she remains the lone candidate and her nomination papers are submitted correctly.
Shirin, who was elected the MP for the women’s reserved seat in 2009, was elected the speaker on April 30 last year as her predecessor Abdul Hamid was elected the president.
