General elections are scheduled to be held in Bangladesh on 12 February 2026 to elect members of the Jatiya Sangsad. 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.

127,695,183 people are eligible to vote in the election, making it the "biggest democratic process of 2026". 1,981 candidates will contest for the 300 seats in the election. Major parties are expected to contest, however, the Awami League, the winner of the previous four elections, is currently suspended, and is not participating in the election. This has made the election a "bipolar contest" between the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and the 11 Party Alliance led by the Jamaat-e-Islami and the National Citizen Party (NCP).

Key campaign issues and agendas include unemployment, corruption, extortion, proportional representation (PR), and promises to the youth and the minority voters. According to Khan, a professor at SOAS University, the election will be decided "less by ideology and more by promises of governance". This will be the first election in Bangladesh where postal votes would be used. The "No Vote" option is also reintroduced.

Background

Further information: July Revolution (Bangladesh)

Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban being stormed by the protesters following the July Revolution

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. The United States Department of State stated that the election was not free and fair and the United Kingdom's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office termed the election lacking the preconditions of democracy. According to The Economist, through the previous election, "Bangladesh effectively became a one-party state".

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. This was rejected by Hasina, who vowed that "Bangladesh will never allow an unelected government again". 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. Khaleda Zia was sentenced to prison for five years on 8 February 2018, for her involvement in the Zia Orphanage corruption case. The sentence was then modified to 10 years. 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. He was sentenced to life in prison. As such, he was barred from running for office.

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. Khaleda Zia was released by the President of Bangladesh following Hasina's resignation.

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. 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'. However, Students Against Discrimination placed within the interim government like Mahfuj Alam bitterly opposed the participation of the Awami League in the polls. 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. Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Shafiqur Rahman has also expressed his dissent against allowing the Awami League to participate in the polls.

A petition demanding a ban on the Awami League & its associates of the Grand Alliance filed by the student agitators had been turned down by the Appellate Division. 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. On the following day, the interim government banned the 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. 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.

Khaleda Zia, former Bangladesh Prime Minister who was acquitted of all charges after the 2024 Bangladesh quota reform movement died on 30 December 2025 after a prolonged illness sparking a change in Bangladesh political landscape.

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.

The Interim government introduced reforms before the election, including reintroduction of "no vote" for the single candidate constituencies. It would be the first general election in Bangladesh where expatriates will vote through postal ballot.

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.

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. 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. 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 Ramadan, which will begin as early as 17 February.

Chief election commissioner AMM Nasir Uddin's speech on electoral schedule was recorded by the Bangladesh Television (BTV) and the Bangladesh Betar on 10 December 2025, and was broadcast on 11 December.

On 22 December, Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus inaugurated ten campaigning trucks named "Super Caravan", whose work will be to agitate public consciousness on election and information about the referendum.

A total of 3,407 nomination papers were collected for the 300 constituencies, and 2,582 papers were submitted. 28% of the submitted nominations were declined by the returning officers. 645 appeals were made against the nomination invalidation to the Election Commission. The election witnessed a significant increase of the number of female candidates, particularly from the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and National Citizen Party (NCP). The only third gender (hijra) candidate was Anwarul Islam Rani, who stood as an independent candidate from Rangpur-3.

With 15 candidates, Dhaka-12 is the constituency with the highest number of running candidates, while Pirojpur-1 is the lowest with only two candidates.

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, compared to 4.15% in 2023. In 2024, 87% of the unemployed were educated, and 21% of them were graduates, showing the lack of job growth needed to accommodate the increasing workforce. A 2024 study found that 55% of the Bangladeshi youth wished to leave the country due to the rising unemployment rate. Unemployment was one of the core factors behind the July Revolution of 2024.

Corruption

Corruption remains a major national issue. Bangladesh ranked 151st out of 180 countries in the Transparency International's Corruption Perception Index in 2024, slipping from 149 in 2023. The issue of corruption took a central stage in election campaigns.​​

Extortionism

Extortionism in the country grew unprecedentedly in the aftermath of the July Revolution. 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. The BNP particularly faced backlash for its leaders' involvement in extortion scandals.

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 and a key driver of political deadlock in the country. 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 staunchly opposed the system and supported PR, where the BNP continues to support FPTP.

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.

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

Youth voters

Nearly 56 million of the 127 million registered voters are aged between 18 and 37, constitute about 44 percent of the electorate, many of them belong to Generation Z, the main demographic contributor to the July Revolution. Due to three previously one-sided elections, this election is expected to be the first competitive election to the cohort. According to the Al Jazeera, these young voters are unified "less by ideology than by a shared suspicion of institutions, which, for most of their adult lives, have failed to represent them". The youth vote bank have been a focal point of party campaigns, and is widely considered to be the turning factor in the election.

Hindu and Awami League voters

Many 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. The BBC Bangla reported that the BNP maintains a stronghold amongst the Hindu voters, and the party promised to create a special tribunal and a security cell to prevent communal violence against religious minorities. Two leaders of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad were nominated from the BNP. On the other side, Jamaat-e-Islami established committees including minorities and nominated a Hindu candidate. The CPB fielded 17 minority candidates in the election, which is the highest among the competing parties.

Besides, BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami have also taken strategies to attract former voters of Awami League and its allies, which include recruiting former AL politicians, promising legal protections, etc. However, a significant number of AL supporters stated that the they would refrain from voting in an election without "boat". Although according to University of Dhaka professor Asif Shahan, though the "core loyalists" might abstain, the "locally focused" former AL voters will vote and may become a decisive factor in the election.

Aome surveys in January 2026 indicated that nearly half of the former AL voters switched their support to the BNP, followed by the Jamaat-e-Islami. According to the Communication & Research Foundation and Bangladesh Election and Public Opinion Studies, these "patterns suggest that former Awami League voters are not dispersing evenly across the party system or withdrawing from partisan preferences, but are instead consolidating their support around specific opposition alternatives". Analysing an October–November youth survey by the Bangladesh Youth Leadership Center (BYCL) in November 2025, 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 has come 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.

Party campaigns and preparations

The BNP's primary candidates selection started in late-September 2025. 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.

The BNP announced their candidacy list for 237 constituencies on 3 November 2025. Its incumbent chairperson and former prime minister of Bangladesh, Khaleda Zia, would compete from three constituencies. 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.

In the second phrase, the BNP unveiled a candidacy list for 36 seats, including seats of many leaders of the allied parties, alienating the allied parties, which even led to the conclusion of Bangladesh Labour Party's 18-year-long alignment with the party, while two allied parties, the Liberal Democratic Party (Bangladesh) and the Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (Rab), declared contesting in the election independently. On the other hand, the Bangladesh Liberal Democratic Party and the Bangladesh Jatiya Dal merged with the BNP.

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 Oikko, Nationalist Democratic Movement, and the National People's Party. 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 have joined in BNP. On 28 January 2026, Nagorik Oikko pulled out of the BNP-led alliance.

However, due to the failure to secure nomination, many politicians who seek the BNP nomination are contesting the election as independent candidates, who have been identified as "rebel" candidates by the party. According to a report in Prothom Alo, efforts are being made from the top levels of the party to convince them, and action has been announced against them if they do not comply. Some leaders, including Rumeen Farhana, have already been expelled from the party for the same reason.

Tarique Rahman, the acting chairman of the BNP, returned to Bangladesh on 25 December 2025, after 17 years in exile. 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. The party is seeking to position itself centrist and liberal. Some of its recent rhetoric explicitly acknowledged the preservation of the legacy of the Liberation War. The party also aimed to appeal to the center-left voters.

BNP's key campaign pledge include "family card", issued to 4 million households which would provide a necessary amount of money to support monthly income of a family, and "farmer card", which would provide subsidized services to the farmers. The party also promised to create 10 million jobs within 18 months. Other promises include "one teacher, one tab" initiative, reopening mid-day meal services to the schools, expansion of deregulation of commerce, recruitment of 1 million healthcare workers, etc.

The BNP unveiled their manifesto on 6 February 2026. The manifesto outlined 51 points divided in nine commitments stated to be based on the 19-point programme (1978), the Vision-2030 (2015) and the 31-point programme (2022) of the party and the July Charter — "Family card", "Farmer Card", recruitment of 100,000 healthcare workers predominantly women, educational reform, meals in the primary schools, employment and youth skill development, 250 million tree plantation and 20,000 kilometres (12,000 miles) canalling, listing of the victims of the 1971 Bangladesh genocide and the July massacre, and religious harmony and digitalization of economy. Other key aspects include reinstatement of "faith and trust in Allah" to the constitution, reforms in the article 70, establishment of 10-year term limits for the prime minister, creation of a trillion-dollar economy by 2034, increasing foreign direct investment to 2.5% of GDP, expansion of power generation capacity up to 35,000 MW by 2030, achievement of tax-to-GDP ratio up to 15%, establishment of "Truth and Heeling Commission", anti-corruption, women empowerment, honourium for imams, muezzins, khatibs, pundits and other religious leaders, and waiver of agricultural loans up to 10,000 taka.

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. 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".

The Jamaat-e-Islami allied with like-minded 8 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).

Jamaat-e-Islami also tried to unify these parties into an electoral alliance, however, later it was decided to form an electoral convenience. Prothom Alo reported that they were also tying to connect with NCP, AB Party and GOP. On 28 December 2025, Jamaat-e-Islami announced the electoral alliance with the Liberal Democratic Party and the National Citizen Party. Bangladesh Labour Party also joined the alliance on 24 January 2025. On the other hand, Islami Andolan Bangladesh, a founding member of Like-minded 8 Parties, left the alliance after failing to compromise seats.

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 is an attempt to bring young leadership to the forefront.

The Jamaat-e-Islami is trying to position itself as the "vanguard of the July uprising" and a "viable alternative to established political parties, such as Awami League and BNP", both of which have controversial records in governance. According to the political analyst Saleh Uddin Ahmad, the party has created 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 the party's religious ideology and historical legacy may work as a hindrance for the party's electoral campaign. However, BBC reported that many younger voters separate the contemporary form of the party from its history and do not consider its 1971 stance as a "red line". According to professor Tawfique Haque of North South University, the Gen Z do not want to be "bogged with this debate", considering the party a "fellow victim of Hasina's rule".

Jamaat-e-Islami's campaign promises heavily concentrated on interest-free loans and tax cuts. The party pledged to introduce "smart social security card", which would bring all the government services under a single umbrella. The party also promised to train 10 million youth and to develop 1.5 million entrepreneurs and 500,000 million freelancers within five years. Other pledges include interest-free student loans, extensive consumer tax cuts, freezing industrial utility tariffs for three years, reopening closed factories under public private ownership for with 10% allocation for the workers, free healthcare for the older citizens and children etc.

Jamaat-e-Islami published its manifesto on 4 February 2026. Titled the "people's manifesto", it contained 41 categories and prioritized 26 areas, including youth leadership, universal civil, special provisions for disadvantaged individuals and backward communities, safe and inclusive participation of women in state affairs, gradual introduction of universal healthcare and education as well as lowering their costs, social security and reduction of consumer inflation, establishment of good governance, ensuring judicial freedom, ensuring freedom of faith, establishment of peace in the Hill Tracts, welfare of women and Hijras, anti-corruption, providing employment and creation of a skilled workforce, socioeconomic development, and building a self-reliant country. Most emphasis was placed on healthcare sector. Other key aspects include introduction of mandatory military service for all citizens aged between 18 and 22 regardless of gender, and nomination women "significantly" to the cabinet. Although not included in the manifesto, its emir (president) Shafiqur Rahman promised to reduce female working hours in the ceremony, a move for which he was previously criticized, which he clarified to be executed after the maternity leave with the "consent of mothers".

Yet, the party's resurgence prompted debate over whether the country is ready to be governed by an Islamist party. Some fear it could seek to enforce sharia or try to restrict women's rights and freedoms. Jamaat-e-Islami Emir promised not to implement sharia law if they form a government. According to The Washington Post, the US has expanded engagement with the Jamaat-e-Islami. In a leaked recording, an American diplomat reportedly said that the US does not believe that the party is able to implement Sharia, and if they attempt to act with regards to the US, then the US "would have 100 percent tariffs put on them the next day".

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 a 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 and defence policy and bilateral solutions to the issues like deaths along the Bangladesh–India border, water sharing of transboundary rivers and Rohingya refugee crisis.

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".

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. The party interviewed more than 1,000 nomination seekers among ordinary citizens nationwide over two days in November. Its leaders moved from booth to booth for suitable candidates. According to the Daily Jugantor, approximately 60% candidates primarily nominated by the NCP were non-NCP members. The party declared their primary candidacy list for 125 seats on 10 December 2025, including the seats of major leaders.

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. 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. 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".

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 form an 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. 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. Protesting the decision, NCP leaders Tasnim Jara and Tasnuva Jabeen resigned from the party, while Mahfuj Alam, former adviser who had previously expressed interest of joining the NCP, retracted from the decision. Khandakar Tahmid Rejwan, lecturer at the Independent University, Bangladesh cited that:

It's unfortunate to see the leader of the political party that arguably claims to own and lead the 2024 mass uprising and depose Hasina, now become a junior partner to a major political party. [...] As a result, we see defections of many top leaders of NCP, and astonishingly, by allying, it was only able to bargain for 30 seats for its own candidate. To sum up, Nahid has sold his political autonomy and image of an exclusive figure by de facto becoming subservient to Jamaat.

NCP declared their electoral manifesto on 30 January 2026. Their manifesto, named the "Manifesto of Youth and Dignity", contained 36 points (signifying the July 36). Their key pledges include lowering the voting age to 16, creating 10 million "dignified" jobs over the next five years, eradicating extortion to bring the political cost of doing business down to zero, and facilitating "reverse brain drain" by bringing talented professionals back to the country through one-off funding mechanisms, etc.

Status	Ongoing since 22 January 2026 (de jure)
Headquarters	Kakrail, Dhaka
Key people	GM Quader Shamim Haider Patwary

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 faction wants the symbol over their own nominated candidates.

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

The party's campaign was limited to field meetings, leaflet distributions and mass processions, and included no major rally. Many of its leaders claimed to have been threatened and mared of campaigning freely. The party is campaigning for a "no" vote for the referendum and trying to secure the Awami League and minority votes. Its leaders believe that if AL supporters turn out at voting centres, only then the JP(E) will be able to meet its expectations and to maintain its historic stronghold in the Rangpur region.

The Daily Ittefaq reported that the CPB-led Left Democratic Alliance was creating a convention of progressive parties under the united front strategy, which was 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.

On 29 November 2025, Democratic United Front (DUF) was announced at a national coalition, jointly organised by the CPB-led Left Democratic Alliance and the BJSD. The convention adopted a seven‑point political proposal outlining the coalition's ideological commitments and electoral strategy. Leaders called for uniting left‑wing, progressive, democratic, and "pro–Liberation War forces". The DUF declared their electoral manifesto on 23 January 2026, where emphasis were placed on the freedom of speech and expression, literary, cultural and democratic ambitions, development of youth power, and reorganization of educational system.

On the other hand, the CPB separately declared their manifesto on 3 February. Titled "electoral manifesto of changing the system", it outlines 18 points of pledges that follow: democratic reconstruction, rule of law, anti-corruption, "genuine" local governance, decentralization, electoral reform, restoration of voting rights, reduction of inequality, prevention of inflation and price hikes, employment, poverty alleviation, educational reform, "people-oriented" healthcare services reform, agricultural reform, rural development, workers' and women's rights, youth development, reform in transport and communication infrastructures, environmental protection, addressing the challenges of climate change, "people-oriented" reform in science, technology and research, right to media and information, freedom of expression, development of literal, cultural and progressive social consciousness and establishment of foreign policy based on world peace.

Observation

50,454 national and 500 international observers will monitor the election. The Election Commission invited five organizations to observe the election, including the United Nations, the European Union, International Republican Institute, National Democratic Institute, and the Commonwealth. Amongst them, the UN declined the invitation, while the EU and the Commonwealth responded positively and the others have yet to reply.

The EU is conducting an election observation mission at the invitation of the interim government and the EC. The mission was launched on 11 January 2026, one month before the election. It is led by chief observer Ivars Ijabs. On 17 January, 56 long-term observers were deployed across the country. At full strength, the mission will include 200 observers from all 27 EU member states, as well as Canada, Norway, and Switzerland. They will release a preliminary report on the election two days after it takes place.

The Commonwealth will conduct an election observation mission led by Nana Akufo-Addo, along with 13 other members, including Ras Adiba Radzi, Mohamed Waheed Hassan, and David J. Francis. The mission will start on 5 February and will conclude on 18 February.

Referendum

Main article: 2026 Bangladeshi constitutional referendum

Postal ballot of the referendum for expatriates.

A constitutional referendum will take place in Bangladesh alongside the general election. Voters will be asked about the provisions of the July Charter and related amendments to the Constitution of Bangladesh. July Charter implementation order has been issued for this purpose.

Reactions

Pre-poll

Deposed former Prime Minister and fugitive Awami League leader Sheikh Hasina released a series of negative statements from her hideout in India regarding the election for excluding her party for its direct role in crimes against humanity. In a message sent to the Associated Press, she claimed that the interim government led by professor Yunus "deliberately disenfranchised millions of her supporters" from the election.

Violence

By the end of January 2026, the Human Rights Support Society (HRSS) reported at least 62 election-related clashes nationwide since the election schedule was announced. In the same period, since 11 December, at least 16 political activists were killed, raising concerns over renewed political violence. While none of the deaths has been officially classified as politically motivated, local media and rights groups report that BNP leaders and activists account for 13 of the fatalities. Cocktails and bombs were found being made to sabotage elections in incidents reported in January and December.

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. He died on 18 December while undergoing treatment in Singapore General Hospital.

Previously, 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. 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. 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. 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.

Misinformation

A report by Dismiss Lab found that between 16 December 2025 and 15 January 2026, election-related misinformation grew 41% than previous month. Key topics of misinformation include alliance, seat convenience and opinion polls. The Election Commission reportedly detected around 86,000 pieces of artificial intelligence generated disinformation ahead of the election, nearly 36,000 of them were identified as violent in nature, primarily targeting the top party leader like Tarique Rahman and Shafiqur Rahman.

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.

Reports from several fact-checking organizations found that the deepfake and cheepfake contents were prevailing before the elections. Fact-checkers, analysts, and law-enforcing officials identified various techniques of spreading misinformation through these media, which include adding misleading captions, cutting out parts of original statements or changing the context to create different meanings, using fabricated statements in the name of a person; presenting old information as recent events etc. Some identified people behind these works include some "detected" foreign individuals, Awami League supporters, and Internet "bot armies", which work on behalf of various political parties.
