The Election Commission (EC) on Friday decided to postpone the voting to Naogaon-2 constituency (Patnitola and Dhamoirhat) as independent candidate Aminul Haque, 80, died eight days before the 12th parliamentary polls slated for 7 January.

Ashok Kumar Debnath, additional secretary of the EC, informed the matter in a press conference at the EC hours after the death of Aminul Haq.

Aminul Haq was undergoing treatment at a hospital in the capital. Aminul got his electoral symbol on Thursday after a High Court directive restored his candidacy.

The EC additional secretary said, "The Returning officer decided to postpone voting to Naogaon-2 constituency as an independent candidate died. The EC will reschedule the voting in this constituency."
