An election campaign procession in Noakhali Sadar upazila`s Charmatua union left two children dead as they fell from a vehicle on Wednesday evening.
The deceased were identified as Mehraj Hossain Rafi, 12, and Naimul Islam Sangram, 10.
Multiple sources said the accident took place with a pick-up van and motorcycle procession during inauguration of a candidate`s election office.
The wounded were admitted to Noakhali General Hospital. Sangram, his condition being critical, passed away while being taken to Dhaka.
Officer in Charge (OC) of Sudharam police station, Md. Sahed Uddin, told that the accident occurred during a victory day rally where the top of a covered pick-up van came off.
The victims` families did not file any complaint and so the bodies were handed over to them without autopsy.
