In 1998, Sheikh Hasina appointed Hashibur Rahman Swapon as a Deputy Minister in her government. This led to his expulsion from the BNP and to the Election Commission declaring his seat vacant on 11 October 1999 under Article 70 of the Constitution, which penalizes floor-crossing. This triggered a by-election in late 1999, which Alauddin lost as an Awami League candidate. Choyon Islam was elected in his place.
