Although there are no signs of by-elections in the vacant seats within the stipulated time, the candidates have started their activities.

With the death of senior Awami League politicians, four seats in the National Assembly are now vacant. Although there are no signs of by-elections in these constituencies within the stipulated time, the candidates have started their activities. The list of Awami League candidates also includes businessmen, politicians, and family members of the deceased.

Dhaka-18 seats of the Jatiya Sangsad consisting of Dakshin Khan, Uttar Khan, Khilkhet, Turag, and Uttara areas of Dhaka. Member of Parliament Sahara Khatun was a three-time MP in this seat. Less than a month after his death, the constituency was flooded with banner festoons of candidates. The list includes politicians, business family members, and local Awami League leaders.

Nazma Akhter, a candidate for the Dhaka-18 constituency and president of the Juba Mahila League, said, “I was deeply involved in the politics of Uttara and all the elections. The dream of an employee is to ask for a nomination from the party when he is mature.

SS Hossain Sarwar, the nephew of Sahara Khatun, another Awami League candidate from the same constituency, said, “I have been working with leaders and activists since my childhood. I want to work for the welfare of the people in the same way that my aunt treated the people of her constituency.

Meanwhile, Habibur Rahman Mollah, a four-time MP from Dhaka-5 constituency. After his death, several people started campaigning in his constituency. Sajal Mollah, the eldest son of the late Habibur Rahman, claims that the people of the area still have confidence in the Mollah family.

Nehring Mostafa Dishi, the niece of Shaheed Sultana Kamal, a candidate in Dhaka-5 constituency, said, "I want to continue the contribution that our family has made in Dhaka-5 constituency.

On the other hand, Mohammad Nasim was the Member of Parliament for Sirajganj-1. He has never lost an election from this seat. His son was elected in 2008 as he could not vote due to the complexity of the case.

Tanvir Shakil Joy, the eldest son of nominee Mohammad Nasim, said, "People in the area will have high expectations of me if they nominate me as a Member of Parliament or deem me worthy in the same way as my grandfather and father have done for the development of the people of our region."

The Election Commission wants to take more time due to the coronavirus disaster, even though the 90-day obligation to hold by-elections in the constituencies is approaching.
