In the 13th Jatiya Sangsad election held in February 2026, Tipu contested Naogaon-4 (seat 49, covering Manda Upazila) under the BNP's paddy sheaf symbol. He won with 133,801–133,924 votes (sources vary slightly between final and unofficial counts), defeating Jamaat-e-Islami candidate Md. Abdur Rakib (or the district Amir), who received 96,814–97,585 votes. The margin was approximately 36,000–37,000 votes. Other candidates from independent, Communist Party of Bangladesh, and smaller parties trailed significantly. Total valid votes in the constituency exceeded 333,000.^[6][7]
