Independent chairman candidate (AL rebel) Imrul Kayes Farooque won the polls in Aditmari upazila parishad.
He bagged 46,870 votes while his nearest Awami League candidate Rafiqul Alam got 34,098 votes. Jatiya Party candidate Nigar Sultana got 1,124 votes in the election held on Sunday.
Chitta Ranjan Roy was elected as vice chairman and Jesmin Akhter was elected as woman vice chairman.
Total 83,997 out of 1,63,612 voters in the upazila exercised their franchise during the election that started around 8:00am and ended around 4:00pm, said District Election Officer Manjurul Hasan.
No unexpected incident occurred during the polls, he said.
Fifteen candidates -- three for chairman, six for vice chairman and six for women vice chairmen -- contested in the polls.
The Election Commission earlier on March 8 suspended the polls for Aditmari upazila parishad scheduled for March 10, following violation of election rules by the assistant private secretary to Social Welfare Minister Nuruzzaman Ahmed.
