The ruling Awami League's (AL) candidate, Dr Pran Gopal Dutta, has been declared the uncontested winner of the Cumilla-7 (Chandina) by-election.

Cumilla Regional Election Officer Dulal Talukder confirmed the matter today in a notification.

"Dr Pran Gopal has been declared the winner as yesterday was the last day to withdraw the nominations formally," he said adding that there is no point of holding an election on the scheduled date (7 October) after two out of the three candidates withdrew their nominations.

On September 16, Jatiya Party candidate Lutfur Reza Khokon, who is also the central vice chairman and party convener for Cumilla District (north), withdrew his nomination and dropped out of the election. Monirul Islam, a candidate for the National Awami Party (NAP), later withdrew his nomination on Saturday (18 September).

As a result, Dr Pran Gopal Dutta was the sole remaining candidate in the Cumilla-7 by-election.
