Mia worked against Tarun, and the party blamed him for Tarun's narrow loss to Bangladesh Nationalist Party candidate Syed Mehedi Ahmed Rumi. Mia left the Awami League in January 2001. He joined the Jatiya Party (Ershad), and contested the seat again in 2008,[3] but finished a distant third.[citation needed]
