Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) is the Bangladeshi branch of the Berlin-based Transparency International, a civil society organisation dedicated to fighting against corruption.
TIB started its activities in 1997, under founding chairman Syed Humayun Kabir. [1]
In 2016, it criticised new government rules on NGOs that received foreign funding. [2] It also asked the government to not take a 2 billion dollar development loan from the world Bank. [2] This law was created after TIB Executive Director Iftekharuzzaman called the country's Parliament a 'puppet show stage'. [3]

12th National Parliament Election Process Tracking is a research report published by Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) on the 2024 Bangladeshi general election, which faced opposition party boycotts. Presented at a press conference on 17 January, 2024, the report highlighted the election's one-sided nature and lack of competitiveness, neither free nor inclusive, posing a threat to the country's democracy. The Bangladesh Election Commission played a catalytic role in advancing the one-sided 'agenda,' with other state institutions, including law enforcement agencies and the administration, supporting the same 'agenda.' While independent candidates from the government party were assigned roles to foster competitiveness, most constituencies lacked true competition, with 241 out of 300 having no contests. A total of 41.8 percent polling, including 15.43 percent polling in the last hour of the election, sparked controversy. Despite technical success, the report suggests enduring questions about political integrity, democratic values, and ethical standards. The election failed to meet the prerequisites for fairness, participation, impartiality, and equal competition. The results indicate consolidated institutional dominance and a continued path of unchecked power and responsibility-free implementation in the political and governance system.
