Meanwhile, the Tariqat Federation secured its second seat in the 10th Parliament while two independent runners won as many seats.
Returning officers of seven constituencies said voting was held on Thursday in a peaceful manner.
Balloting there was marred by violence, sabotage and disruption during the 10th parliamentary election on Jan 5, forcing the Election Commission (EC) to announce re-polling.
The constituencies, spread over five districts are Dinajpur-4, Bogra-7, Jessore-5, Laxmipur-1 and Gaibandha-1, 3 and 4.
Dinajpur-4
Awami League candidate AH Mahmood Ali has been re-elected unofficially from Dinajpur-4 (Chirirbandar-Khansama) constituency, the Returning Officer said.
Voting at 57 polling centres in the seat had been marred by violence and disruption during the Jan 5 elections which had led the EC to order re-polls.
Polling at these centres was held again on Thursday in fair and peaceful manner, Dinajpur district Returning Officer Ahmed Shamim Al Raji said.
The Foreign Minister of the elections-time government, Mahmood Ali bagged 141,232 votes in 120 voting centres including in those troubled 57 centres.
He told bdnews24.com that Ali's only rival Workers Party candidate Enamul Haque Sarker polled a meagre 2,092 votes.
Raji said 55.47 percent votes were cast on Thursday.
Bogra-7
HM Ershad-led Jatiya Party candidate Advocate Altaf Ali has been re-elected unofficially from Bogra-7 constituency (Gabtoli-Shahjahanpur).
Bagging 17,879 votes, Ali beat his rival Aminul Islam Pintu, aspirant from Anwar Hossain Manju-led faction of Jatiya Party, Returning Officer Shafiqur Reza Biswas announced on Thursday night.
Pintu got 10,104 votes.
Out of 422,010 voters in the constituency, 28,521 people cast their votes during the balloting at 46 polling centres on Thursday in a peaceful environment, Biswas said.
