RAJSHAHI, Feb 14, 2026 (BSS)- After 41 years, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami's 
central Nayeb-e-Ameer Professor Mujibur Rahman has regained the lost seat. 

According to declared results, he has been elected as the Member of 
Parliament for the Rajshahi-1 (Tanore-Godagari) constituency.
 
Prof Mujibur Rahman secured 1,71,786 votes to win the election. His closest 
rival BNP candidate Major General (Retd.) Sharif Uddin received 169,902 
votes. 

He was elected MP by a margin of 1,884 votes over his nearest competitor.
 
Earlier in 1986, Prof Mujibur Rahman, then a central Nayeb-e-Ameer of 
Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, was elected MP from this Barind region 
constituency. 

He is a son of Mahishalbari village in Godagari upazila of Rajshahi. 
After a fierce contest, his victory in reclaiming the long-lost seat after 41 
years has sparked enthusiasm among party leaders and activists in the Tanore-
Godagari constituency.
