Siddiqur Rahman Patwari, former chairman of Baraigram upazila and Health and Population Affairs secretary of district Awami League, has been elected unopposed in Natore-4 by-polls.
He was formally pronounced the winner of the by-polls on Sunday afternoon, said a notice signed by Returning Officer Md Moin Uddin Khan.
His parliament membership was confirmed when District Jatiya Party President Alauddin Mridha and Chhatra Dal leader Mehedi Hasan Noman did not submit their nomination papers on September 17, the last day of the submission date.
The Natore-4 fell vacant following the death of Natore district Awami League president and lawmaker from (Gurdaspur-Baraigram) constituency, valiant freedom fighter Professor Abdul Quddus, on 30 August.
The by-election was scheduled to be held on October 11.
