Tangail-4 by-poll Oct 28

The by-poll to the Tangail-4 constituency, which has been vacant since sacked minister Abdul Latif Siddique resigned from the parliament on September 1, will be held on October 28.

The last day for nomination paper submission is September 30, scrutiny will be held on October 3, and the last date for withdrawal of candidature is October 11, said Chief Election Commissioner Kazi Rakibuddin Ahmad at a press conference yesterday.

Over 2.77 lakh voters are entitled to exercise their franchise in the constituency.

Latif Siddique was expelled from the ruling Awami League and the cabinet for his "anti-religion remarks" made in the US in September last year.
