Former Home Minister Dr Muhiuddin Khan Alamgir is likely to be elected MP unopposed from Chandpur-1 constituency (Kachua) if his candidacy stands valid.
Although Monday was the last date for filing nomination, no other candidates, except for MK Alamgir, have filed papers to contest the 10th parliamentary polls, billed for January 5, from the seat.
The lone candidate from the parliamentary seat submitted his nomination paper to assistant returning officer and UNO of Kachua Zia Ahmed Sumon on Monday.
In a televised address to the nation, Chief Election Commissioner Kazi Rakibuddin Ahmad on November 25 announced the schedule for the national election.
As per the polls schedule, the deadline for submission of nomination papers was December 2 (today) and the scrutiny of the nomination papers is on December 5 and 6.
If the nomination of MK Alamgir is not rejected during the scrutiny, he is expected to be declared MP unopposed from the constituency.
Meanwhile, nine other candidates, including former Foreign Minister Dr Dipu Moni, have filed nominations for the rest four seats in the district.
Of them, Dipu Moni submitted her nomination paper to contest the national election from Chandpur-3 constituency (Sadar-Haimchar) on Monday.
