"As a result, Shamim Shahnewaz, with the banana stick symbol, defeated four-time MP Md. Rustum Ali Faraji, securing 62,130 votes to become a member of parliament.[4][5] After the non-cooperation movement in 2024, President Mohammed Shahabuddin dissolved the National Assembly, resulting in him losing his position as a member of parliament.[6]
