Khurshid Jahan died in June 2006. To fill the vacant seat, the [[Bangladesh Election Commission|Election Commission]] planned a by-election for 7 September. The [[High Court Division|High Court]], however, blocked the by-election on the grounds that it would be wasteful, as the parliament's tenure was due to end in October with the formation of a caretaker government in preparation for the next general election.<ref name="bdn19Aug2006" />
