When Talukder Abdul Khaleque, Member of Parliament for Bagerhat-3, resigned from parliament in April 2018 to run for mayor of Khulna,{{cite news |title=AL MP Khaleque resigns to contest Khulna city polls |url=https://www.thedailystar.net/politics/awami-league-mp-talukder-abdul-khaleque-resigns-contest-khulna-city-corporation-election-1560931 |newspaper=The Daily Star |date=10 April 2018}} Khan considered contesting the resulting by-election as an independent candidate.
