In October 2009, the Supreme Court upheld a ruling that Major (retired) Jashim Uddin's 2008 candidacy was illegal because he failed to wait the statutory five years after compulsory retirement from government service before running for parliament. The Election Commission vacated the seat on February 3, 2010. Nurunnabi Chowdhury was elected in the resulting April 2010 by-election.
