Ruling Awami League lawmaker Mahmud Us Samad Chowdhury died of COVID-19 on Thursday.
He breathed his last at the United Hospital in Dhaka, said AL office secretary Biplob Barua.
The 69-year-old lawmaker was undergoing treatment at the hospital.
Mahmud tested positive for COVID-19 on March 8.
His brother Ahmed Us Samad Chowdhury confirmed the news of Mahmud's passing via a Facebook post in the afternoon.
The parliament member was unwell for a few days and his condition suddenly deteriorated while returning to Dhaka from Sylhet on Sunday. Upon reaching Dhaka, he was rushed to the hospital, said Julhas Ahmed, Mahmud's personal secretary.
"On Monday, he (Mahmud) was tested for Covid-19 and the report came positive. As his physical condition deteriorated, he was put on ventilation," said Julhas.
On February 10, the MP received his first dose of coronavirus vaccine and had no adverse effect, he added.
