Seven years later independent candidate Alamgir Kabir was elected as mayor in 2011. Though he later became a member of the BNP, he has been unable to stand in the latest elections due to family problems.
The three candidates in the election are Jafar Ali Khan of the Awami League, Omor Ali of the BNP and independent candidate Azizur Rahman Aziz.
Twenty-five candidates have competed for nine seats in the general council, while six others for three reserved women councillor seats.
The municipality has 10,177 registered voters.

The new commission was formed on Feb 6. The EC is tasked with overseeing the next five years of polls, including the general election in 2019.
The commission includes former additional secretary Mahbub Talukder, former secretary Rafiqul Islam, former district judge Kabita Khanam and former brigadier general Shahadat Hossain Chowdhury as election commissioners.
As with the Kazi Rakibuddin-led commission before, the BNP has cast aspersions on the impartiality of the new EC from the start of its term.
