According to an official notification signed by Election Commission Secretariat Joint Secretary and Returning Officer Md. Moin Uddin Khan on Monday, November 2, 2026, Eliza Zaman submitted her nomination papers as the single candidate from the BNP-led alliance by the designated deadline of October 26 at 4:00 PM. Following scheduled scrutiny, her nomination was declared valid by the commission.

As per the election schedule, the deadline for withdrawal of candidacy expired at 4:00 PM on Sunday, November 1. Because Eliza Zaman did not withdraw her candidature within the prescribed timeframe, her name was formally published in the final list of candidates in accordance with Section 12, Sub-section (1) of the Jatiya Sangsad (Reserved Women's Seat) Election Act, 2004. The seat became vacant following the resignation of former MP Ferdousy Ahmed Mishti on October 1.
