Career[edit]
Bangladesh Awami League candidate Jashimuddin was elected to parliament for Bhola-3 in the 2008 Bangladeshi general election. The seat was vacated in 2010 as the result of a Supreme Court ruling.[2] A by-election was called for Bhola-3, which was won by Awami League candidate Chowdhury on 29 April 2010, against Major Hafizuddin Ahmed of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party.[3][1]
Chowdhury was re-elected in 2014, 2018 and 2024 as the MP of Bhola-3.[4][5]
Controversy[edit]
On 13 August 2010, Ibrahim Ahmed, a local Jubo League leader, had died after being shot with a gun belonging to Chowdhury. Chowdhury's driver Kala filed an unnatural death case with the police and claimed Ibrahim accidentally shot himself while handling the gun in the MP's car.[6] The Detective Branch of the police suspected foul play. On 19 August 2010, Ibrahim's brother filed a murder case against Chowdhury and 17 others with a court in Dhaka.[7][8] On 12 January 2012, the Criminal Investigation Department pressed murder charges against six. The accused included Chowhury's driver, bodyguard, personal secretary, and three members of the Jubo League, but excluded Nurunnabi Chowdhury.[6]
