General elections are scheduled to be held in Bangladesh on 12 February 2026 to elect members of the Jatiya Sangsad. [2] This election will determine the next Government of Bangladesh. The vote will take place under the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus, which has governed the country since August 2024. A constitutional referendum on the July Charter will be held alongside the election.

Contents

Major parties are expected to contest, however, the Awami League, the winner of previous four elections, is currently suspended, and is not participating in the election. [3] Initially, 2,582 aspirants were nominated. [4] The Election Commission declared 723 of them invalid, leaving 1,842 candidates currently in the race. [5] The election witnessed a significant increase of the number of female candidates, particularly from the National Citizen Party (NCP) and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). [6]

Background

The Awami League won the 2024 general elections following a record low voter turnout and a controversial election. In spite of this, they formed a government. [7] The United States Department of State stated that the election was not free and fair [8] and the United Kingdom's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office termed the election lacking the preconditions of democracy. [9] According to The Economist , through this election, "Bangladesh effectively became a one-party state". [10]

The main opposition party, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, demanded that the government hand over power to a neutral caretaker government before the January 2024 elections. [11] This was rejected by Hasina, who vowed that "Bangladesh will never allow an unelected government again". [12] Hasina's resistance to a caretaker government arose following the 2006–2008 political crisis, during which a caretaker government assumed military-backed control of the country and arrested a number of political leaders, including Hasina and the former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia. [13] Khaleda Zia was sentenced to prison for five years on 8 February 2018, for her involvement in the Zia Orphanage corruption case. [14] The sentence was then modified to 10 years. [15] Zia's successor as chair of the party, her son Tarique Rahman, was also found guilty of criminal conspiracy and multiple counts of murder for a grenade attack in 2004 that injured Hasina and killed 24 people. [16] He was sentenced to life in prison. As such, he was barred from running for office. [17]

In June 2024, the 2024 Bangladesh quota reform movement erupted throughout the country, demanding the reform of quotas in government jobs. The protests were met with a brutal crackdown by law-enforcement agencies and paramilitary forces, resulting in the July massacre. By August, the protests intensified into a large-scale Non-cooperation movement against the government which eventually culminated in the Resignation of Sheikh Hasina on 5 August. The following day, the 12th Jatiya Sangsad was dissolved by President Mohammed Shahabuddin. [18] Khaleda Zia was released by the President of Bangladesh following Hasina's resignation. [19]

Following negotiations between student protest leaders and the Bangladesh Armed Forces, Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus was appointed as the Chief Adviser of Bangladesh to lead an interim government with a view of leading the country to new elections. [20] The student leaders of the protest movement have also formed political groups like the National Citizen Party and are assumed to participate in the election.

Over time, serious disagreements have arisen over participation of the Awami League in the polls. BNP leader Ruhul Kabir Rizvi & Jatiya Party (Ershad) leader GM Quader supported the participation of Awami League in the polls. Bangladesh Army chief Waker-Uz-Zaman had reportedly stated that the participation of a 'refined' Awami League led by leaders with 'clean' image like Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury, Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh & Saber Hossain Chowdhury is necessary to ensure that the elections are 'free, fair & inclusive'. [21] However, Students Against Discrimination placed within the interim government like Mahfuj Alam bitterly opposed the participation of the Awami League in the polls. [22] NCP leader Nahid Islam also voiced his opposition to participation of the Awami League in the polls, unless its leaders are put on trial for the July massacre. He stated that any attempt to relaunch the so-called refined Awami League in the elections amounts to foreign interference. [23] Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Shafiqur Rahman has also expressed his dissent against allowing the Awami League to participate in the polls. [21]

A petition demanding a ban on the Awami League & its associates of the Grand Alliance filed by the student agitators [24] had been turned down by the Appellate Division. [25] On 9 April 2025, The NCP, Jamaat-e-Islami & other Islamist organisations like the Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh staged a 2025 Shahbag protest in front of the Jamuna State Guest House, the residence of the Chief Adviser, demanding a ban on the Awami League. [26] On the following day, the interim government banned Awami League and all of its activities in cyberspace and elsewhere, under the Anti-Terrorism Act, 2009. The ban would last until the International Crimes Tribunal completes the trial of the party and its leaders. [27] [28] On 17 November 2025, the International Crimes Tribunal ruled that Hasina and her co-defendants were guilty of war crimes and sentenced her along with former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal to death. [29]

A writ petition was filed on 3 December 2025 at the Supreme Court of Bangladesh by advocate Yarul Islam, the leader of the Bangladesh Congress, that challenged the legality of the appointment of the secretary of the Election Commission, the returning officers and the assistant returning officers from the executive branch, which the petitioner claimed to contradict the constitution, and requested the issuance of a rule on the formation of an "Electoral Service Commission" to appoint these officials. Notably, the writ also sought a stay order on the preparation and organization of the upcoming election. [30] Khaleda Zia, former Bangladesh Prime Minister who was acquitted of all charges after 2024 Bangladesh quota reform movement died on 30th December 2025 after prolonged illness sparking a change in Bangladesh political history. [31]

Electoral system

The 350 members of the Jatiya Sangsad consist of 300 directly elected seats using first-past-the-post voting (FPTP) in single-member constituencies, and an additional 50 seats reserved for women. The reserved seats are elected proportionally by the elected members. Each parliament sits for a five-year term. [32]

The Interim government introduced reforms before the election, including reintroduction of "no vote" for the single candidate constituencies. [33] It would be the first general election in Bangladesh where expatriates can vote. [34]

Voters

According to the final voter list published by the Election Commission of Bangladesh, 127,695,183 people are eligible to vote in the election, 64,814,907 among whom are male, 62,879,042 are female, and 1,234 are third gender voters. The growth rate of the male voters was 2.29%, and the female voters was 4.16%. [35]

Campaign

Major campaign issues

Unemployment

Unemployment has been a major problem for the Bangladeshi economy, especially affecting the youth. According to a Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics report, Bangladesh's overall youth unemployment rate stood at 4.48% in 2024, which was 4.15% in 2023. [36] [37] In 2024, 87% of the unemployeds were educated, and 21% of them were graduates, showing the lack of job growth needed to accommodate the increasing workforce. [38] A 2024 study found that 55% of the Bangladeshi youth wished to leave the country due to the rising unemployment rate. [39] Unemployment was one of the core factor behind the July Revolution of 2024. [40]

In the electoral campaign, the BNP promised to create 1 crore new employment. [41]

Corruption

Corruption remains a major issue in the country. Bangladesh ranked 151st out of 180 countries in the Transparency International's Corruption Perception Index in 2024, slipping from 149 in 2023. [42] The issue of corruption took a central stage in election campaigns, with parties like Jamaat-e-Islami regularly spoke against corruption. [43]

Extortionism

Extortionism in the country grew unprecedentedly in the aftermath of the July Revolution. [44] The parties like BNP and NCP (along with its affiliates Students Against Discrimination, Jatiya Nagorik Committee and Jatiya Chhatra Shakti) faced heavy criticism for involvement with extortion. [45] The BNP particularly faced backlash for its leaders involvement in various extortion scandals. [46]

Proportional representation

Proportional representation (PR) emerged as a key issue among political parties in the election campaigns. The existing first-past-the-post (FPTP) electoral system has been criticised as disproportional [47] [48] [49] and a key driver of political deadlock in the country. [49] Some of the leading minor parties, including National Citizen Party, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, Islami Andolan Bangladesh, Communist Party of Bangladesh, Gono Odhikar Parishad, Amar Bangladesh Party etc., had been in staunch opposition to the system and in support of PR, where the BNP remains a supporter of FPTP. [50] [51] [52] [53] [54]

A Shushashoner Jonno Nagorik opinion poll conducted on 1,373 person between May and July 2025 found that 71% people in the country support PR in the proposed upper house of the Jatiya Sangsad. [55]

Eight parties led by Jamaat-e-Islami organized mass demonstrations in Dhaka in support of PR on 11 November 2025. [56] It's leaders also warned general election not to take place before a referendum on July Charter. [57]

Hindu vote bank

A large number of Hindus voted for the Awami League in the previous general elections. Due to absence of the party in the 2026 election, parties like the BNP and the Jamaat-e-Islami actively conducted programmes to attract the Hindu voters. [58] [59] The BBC Bangla reported that the BNP maintains a stronghold amongst the Hindu voters, [59] and the party promised to create special tribunal and security cell to prevent communal violence against the religious minorities. [41]

Party campaigns

Bangladesh Nationalist Party

The BNP's primary candidates selection started in late-September 2025. [60] The party sources reported that the candidates in approximately 200 seats were finalized by mid-October. However, the party was facing difficulties to determine candidates for 60–70 seats in due to internal conflicts and multiple strong candidates. [61]

The BNP announced their candidacy list for 237 constituencies on 3 November 2025. It's incumbent chairperson and former prime minister of Bangladesh, Khaleda Zia, would compete from three constituencies. [62] However, serious dissatisfaction arose over the nomination in more than 40 seats, leading to frequent protests by the supporters of several nomination seekers. Party leaders feared that this might weaken the party unity in several electorates. [63]

In the second phrase, the BNP declared candidacy list for 36 seats, including seats of many leaders of the allied parties. This created dissatisfaction among the allied parties, which even led to the conclusion of Bangladesh Labour Party  [ bn ] 18-year-long alignment with the party, [64] while two allied parties, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and the Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (Rab), declared contesting in the election independently. [65] On the other hand, the Bangladesh Liberal Democratic Party and the Bangladesh Jatiya Dal  [ bn ] merged with the BNP. [66] [67]

Between 23 and 24 December, BNP announced 14 conceded seats for the allied parties, including the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Bangladesh, Islami Oikya Jote, Jatiya Party (Zafar), Gono Odhikar Parishad, Revolutionary Workers Party of Bangladesh, Ganosanhati Andolan, Nagorik Oikya  [ bn ], Nationalist Democratic Movement, and the National People's Party. [68] [69] On the other side, Bobby Hajjaj, leader of the NDM, Redwan Ahmed, secretary-general of the LDP, and Md. Rashed Khan, general secretary of the GOP, joined the party. [69] [70]

Tarique Rahman, the acting chairman of the BNP, returned to Bangladesh on 25 December 2025, after 17 years in exile. [71] [72] BBC Bangla reported that the BNP's electoral campaign would revolve around the personality of Tarique. However, experts think that it may create challenges for the BNP due to his controversial legacy involving the Hawa Bhaban and corruption. [73] The Prothom Alo reported that the BNP's electoral manifesto will be based on the party's promulgated 31-points, July Charter, and concurrent political catalogue. Key points will include reorganization of electoral rule, restoration of democracy, freedom of judiciary, administrative decentralization, security of human rights and strengthening the anti-corruption structure. [41] The party's recent rhetoric provided a "liberal mantle" and preservation of the legacy of the Liberation War. [74]

For the first time, since the 1991 general election, the BNP has decided to participate the elections on its own, without being in formal/informal alliance with the Jamaat-e-Islami. The BNP general secretary Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir confirmed the conclusion of its alliance with the Jamaat-e-Islami in August 2025. [75] Political analyst Faisal Mahmud suggested that the split maybe driven by the BNP's attempt to "appropriate the moral vocabulary of secular nationalism" in order to occupy the "void" left by the AL. According to him, the split can reshape Bangladesh's future political landscape "dramatically". [74]

Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami

The Jamaat-e-Islami allied with Like-minded 11 Parties to campaign for five demands before the election, including a referendum for July Charter by November, PR in the both houses of the proposed bicameral legislature, ensuring level playing field for all parties, prosecution of the Awami League government officials, and ban on all activities of the Jatiya Party (Ershad) and the Grand Alliance (Bangladesh). [76]

Jamaat-e-Islami also tried to unify these parties into an electoral alliance, [77] however, later it was decided to form an electoral convenience. Prothom Alo reported that they were also tying to contanct with NCP, AB Party and GOP. [78] On 28 December 2025, Jamaat-e-Islami announced the electoral alliance with the Liberal Democratic Party and the National Citizen Party. [79]

Prothom Alo also reported that approximately 80% candidates of the Jamaat-e-Islami's primary nomination list are new, who have no pior experience of contesting a general election. The party sources say that it's an attempt to bring young leadership to the forefront. [77]

According to the political analyst Saleh Uddin Ahmad, Jamaat-e-Islami has succeeded creating an image of a relatively corruption free and a modest party, which may give them a strategic upper hand in the election. Despite this, he also pointed out that Jamaat-e-Islami's religious ideology and historical legacy may work as a hindrance for the party's electoral campaign. [80]

Analysing an October–November youth survey by the Bangladesh Youth Leadership Center (BYCL), which showed that a surprisingly large number of Awami League voters switched to the Jamaat-e-Islami, the British journalist David Bergman provided two possible reasons for this shift, first, due to the punitive stance of the BNP towards the AL at the local level, Jamaat-e-Islami is came to be viewed as the "lesser of two evils" by those AL supporters; and secondly, Jamaat-e-Islami's victory may be sought to a group of AL supporters as a "vindication", that the AL's claim to have been the "only true barrier preventing Bangladesh from sliding toward a religious state" was valid. [81]

National Citizen Party

The NCP published their "Manifesto of New Bangladesh" on 3 August 2025 at Central Shaheed Minar, Dhaka. Although not a formal electoral manifesto, it outlined their party policies and agenda if they form government. The manifesto promises a new constitution, state recognition of the July Revolution and massacre, minimization of the role of black money in politics, introduction of "whistleblower protection law" and "Village Parliament", dissolution of the Rapid Action Battalion, introduction of universal healthcare, increased state funding on STEM education, artificial intelligence and biotechnology research, increase of women reserved seats in the Jatiya Sangsad to 100, recognition of houseworks in the GDP, establishment of a "Permanent Labor Commission", green technology, strong foreign & defence policy and bilateral solutions to the issues like deaths along the Bangladesh–India border, water sharing of transboundary rivers and Rohingya refugee crisis. [82]

The NCP's campaign is heavily concentrated on constituent assembly election and new constitution, which was decided in a party meeting on 13–14 August. Their unofficial slogans include "This time people, want constituent assembly election" and "Solution to Bangladesh, a new constitution". [83]

The NCP became the first party to issue nomination forms from 6 November 2025. Notably, they kept 80% discounts for labour-peasants and injured protesters of the July Revolution. [84] The party interviewed more than 1,000 nomination seekers among ordinary citizens nationwide over two days in November. It's leaders moved from booth to booth for suitable candidates. [85] According to the Daily Jugantor, approximately 60% candidates primarily nominated by the NCP were non-NCP members. [86] The party declared their primary candidacy list for 125 seats on 10 December 2025, including the seats of major leaders. [87]

AB Party chairman Mojibur Rahman Monju hinted a possible alliance consisting of the NCP, his party, the Gono Odhikar Parishad and the 6 member parties of the Ganatantra Manch alliance in October 2025. [88] [89] The NCP, GOP, AB Party, Rastro Songskar Andolan, Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (Rab), and United People's Bangladesh expressed interest to join the alliance. However, the NCP's opposition to the inclusion of UP Bangladesh, a splinter faction of the party, and GOP's internal disputes hampered the formation of the alliance. [90] On 7 December 2025, "Democratic Reform Alliance" was established consisting the NCP, the AB Party, and the Rastro Songskar Andolan. The NCP leader Nahid Islam described it as "not only an electoral alliance – but also a political alliance". [91]

Initially, Jamaat-e-Islami and NCP, close and supportive on the issues related to constitutional and electoral reforms, had shown difference and distance on electoral activities. NCP was seen as uninterested to go into any electoral alliance with the Jamaat-e-Islami and other Islamist parties. According to BBC Bangla , the leftist politicians of NCP were pressuring the party leadership for this. [92] However, from late-December, NCP's alliance with Jamaat-e-Islami suddenly reemerged, creating significant discussion. On 28 December, Jamaat-e-Islami confirmed its electoral alliance with the NCP. [79] Protesting the decision, NCP leaders Tasnim Jara and Tasnuva Jabeen resigned from the party, [93] [94] while Mahfuj Alam, former adviser who had previously expressed interest of joining the NCP, retracted from the decision. [95]

Jatiya Party (Ershad)

Since Hussain Muhammad Ershad's lifetime, the Jatiya Party had been divided into three factions — the Quader faction (led by Ghulam Muhammad Quader), the Raushan faction (led by Raushan Ershad, and the Anisul faction (led by Anisul Islam Mahmud). According to the Daily Manab Zamin significant dispute is ongoing among these factions over the party's electoral symbol plough. Each of factions want to the symbol over their own nominated candidates. [96]

On 8 December 2025, National Democratic Front, led by the Anisul faction and the Jatiya Party (Manju), was launched including 18 parties. [97] [98] On 23 December, the alliance declared candidates for 119 constituencies on 23 December, including the seats of top leaders of the member parties. [99] On the other side, the Quader faction declared their final candidacy list on 26 December. [100]

Communist Party of Bangladesh

The Daily Ittefaq reported that the CPB-led Left Democratic Alliance was tying to create a "convention" of progressive parties under the united front strategy, which is expected to establish by November 2025. They have reportedly contacted with Bangladesh Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal, Antifascist Left Front, Parbatya Chattagram Jana Sanghati Samiti and Democratic Cultural Unity for this. [101]

In a televised address to the nation on 6 June 2025, Yunus declared the general election would be held on any day of the first half of April 2026. [102] The BNP and Jatiya Party (Ershad) opposed holding elections in mid-2026, and demanded that the date be moved forward to December 2025, citing Kalbaisakhi storms and Ramadan. [103] Later on 5 August, Yunus said in a televised broadcast that he would write to the Election Commission to request the election be held in February 2026 before the Ramadan, which will begin as early as 17 February. [104] [105]

Violence

Michael Kugelman, senior fellow with the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, expressed concerns of violent actions from the Awami League in reaction to the verdict of the Trial of Sheikh Hasina ahead of the general election. [110] Kugelman's concerns were elaborated on by geopolitical analyst Bahauddin Foizee, who noted in The Diplomat that multiple layers of conflict were likely, including between the government and the Awami League, and between the Awami League and other political parties. [111] [112] [113] [114] [115]

Foizee pointed out that the BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami, both historically united in opposition to Hasina, are now vying for dominance in the post-Hasina political landscape, which could lead to violent confrontations between the two. [116] [117] [118] [119] [115] He also highlighted the danger of intra-party conflicts within the BNP and Jamaat, noting that such internal struggles, long embedded in Bangladesh's political culture, could spill over into public unrest, further deepening instability. [120] [121] [122] [123] [115]

On 12 December 2025, Osman Hadi, leader of Inqilab Moncho and an independent candidate for the Dhaka-8 constituency, was shot by Awami League-backed assailants riding motorcycles while conducting an election campaign in the Paltan area of Dhaka. He was later taken to the hospital in critical condition, where he fell into a coma. [124] [125] [126] Several parties condemned the incident. [127] [128] [129] He died on 18 December while undergoing treatment in Singapore General Hospital. [130]

Misinformation

A BBC Bangla report found that artificial intelligence generated misinformation could impact the general election. Started by the Jamaat-e-Islami supporters, it quickly spread among the BNP and the NCP supporters, which shows fake campaign and voter base of the respective party. According to Dhaka University professor Saiful Alam Chowdhury, such "information disorder" risks post-election riots like Brazil in Bangladesh. [131]

  116. ↑ "Bangladesh Election: Foizee Warns of Unrest, Yet Hope Remains". South Asia Journal. In The Diplomat, geopolitical analyst Bahauddin Foizee highlights the deeply fractured nature of Bangladesh's political landscape. The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), ..., and the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami (Jamaat), ..., are both positioning themselves as heirs to the post-Hasina order. Though united in their opposition to Hasina, the two parties are now competing with each other for electoral constituencies in the coming election.

Retrieved 2025-12-17. ...with Hasina's Awami League barred from participating in the election, the resulting political vacuum could lead to heightened confrontations between the BNP and JI, two parties with a long history of animosity toward the Awami League. Although in the past they often found common ground in their opposition to Hasina, these parties are now competing for power and influence. The rivalry between the BNP and JI could exacerbate political instability as they vie for dominance in the post-Hasina landscape. Moreover, internal divisions within the BNP and JI may further fuel unrest.

Foizee's analysis, presented in the style of a risk intelligence report, emphasizes the high risk of large-scale protests and street violence.

  120. ↑ Kumari, Rupa. "Bangladesh Politics Could Get Uglier". International Policy Digest. Retrieved 2025-12-17. The problem, Foizee suggests, is not simply rivalry between parties, but rivalry within them. Internal divisions...inside both the BNP and Jamaat could further fuel unrest, as leaders fight for nominations, constituencies, and the authority to speak for the party as a whole...these intra-party contests can spill outward, transforming organizational disputes into public confrontations...
