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.[7] The Election Commission vacated the seat on February 3, 2010.[8] Nurunnabi Chowdhury was elected in the resulting April 2010 by-election.
