Twenty-one out of 24 candidates in Feni's three constituencies have lost their security deposits as they failed to bag required votes cast in the 12th parliamentary election held on Sunday.
In Feni-1, five out of six candidates, seven out of eight candidates in Feni-2 and nine out of 10 candidates in Feni-3 lost their deposits, according to the results announced by the Deputy Commissioner and Returning Officer of Feni Shahina Aktar on Monday.
Awami League candidate Alauddin Ahmed Chowdhury Nasim from Feni-1, Awami League candidate Nizam Uddin Hazari from Feni-2 and Jatiya Party's Lt Gen (retd) Masud Uddin Chowdhury from Feni-3 emerged victorious in the 12th parliamentary election.
Analysing the results, it was found that they all failed to get the minimum votes to save their security deposit.
Feni District's Returning Officer and Deputy Commissioner, Shahina Akhter, explained that candidates in each constituency won't regain their deposit if they fail to secure at least one-eighth of the total valid votes cast.
