The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) is set to form the next government after securing a sweeping victory in Bangladesh’s 13th national parliamentary election and crossing the two-thirds majority mark, according to official and party counts.
The BNP and its allies are leading in 208 of the 284 constituencies declared so far, signalling a decisive public mandate after nearly two decades out of power. The twin polls — the parliamentary election and a simultaneous referendum — were conducted peacefully across 299 constituencies.
Party Chairman Tarique Rahman and Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir have won their respective seats along with several senior party leaders, strengthening the party’s return to power.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Tarique Rahman on the victory, stating that the result reflects the trust of the Bangladeshi people in his leadership. He also reaffirmed India’s support for a democratic, progressive and inclusive Bangladesh.
The Election Commission of Bangladesh said voter turnout in the parliamentary election and the referendum stood at 59.44 percent. Counting of votes for the remaining constituencies, as well as the referendum results, is currently underway.
The final results are expected to be announced after completion of the counting process.
