On 7 May, Selim Prodhan filed a writ petition in the High Court, seeking to contest for the post of upazila chairman while retaining the position of union parishad chairman.
On 8 May, a bench comprising Justice Md Iqbal Kabir and Justice Md Akhtaruzzaman directed the Election Commission to accept Salim Prodhan's nomination and allocate symbol according to the rules.
However, the commission cancelled his nomination as he could not produce necessary documents on the High Court writ.
