Victim Zainal Abedin, 40, a former member of Baligaon union council, was a member candidate of the Union Parishad elections that had been postponed.
He was also the Baligaon Union Juba League's organising secretary.
A group of 25 to 30 people attacked Zainal when he was returning home from a programme on Tuesday night, his brother Amir Hossain said.
They beat him up and shot him. He died at Feni Sadar Hospital.
Doctor Faizul Kabir said there were several wounds on the body. He was shot several times.
The brother alleged Zainal's rivals in election, the supporters of the Awami League candidate, carried out the attack.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Amirul Alam said the body was kept at the hospital for post-mortem examination.
"Police is investigating the murder. We have visited the spot of murder," he added.
