National Election Bangladesh 2024

Candidates from the ruling party Awami League are expected to secure victory in 14 out of 19 seats in Dhaka city, as they face little opposition in these areas. However, there is anticipated competition in the remaining 5 seats, as some Awami League leaders are running as independent candidates in those constituencies.

Jatiya Party is contesting for 13 seats in Dhaka under the ‘plough’ symbol, but their candidates are not very active in most of the capital's seats. Awami League has ceded one seat, Dhaka-18, to Jatiya Party. The ‘plough’ candidates are active in three out of four seats in Dhaka, including this one.

Other than the symbol of the plough, there are several contenders using the symbols of a mango, a green coconut, and a television. While there are numerous candidates with these symbols, they lack strong individual or organizational support. Therefore, candidates using the symbols of the mango, green coconut, and plough are unlikely to pose a significant challenge to the boat symbol. This trend was evident during visits to various constituencies in the city.

According to the Election Commission (EC), there are 156 candidates contesting in the 20 seats of Dhaka district and city. Each seat in Dhaka has a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 13 candidates. In the 19 seats where there are boat candidates, the National People’s Party has the second highest number of candidates using the mango symbol, followed by Jatiya Party candidates.The ‘plough’ symbol is being contested in 13 of the Dhaka seats, while there are 11 Trinomool BNP candidates with the ‘golden fibre’ symbol, 11 candidates of Bangladesh Sangskritil Muktijote with the ‘cane’ symbol, 10 candidates of Bangladesh Nationalist Front (BNF) with the ‘television’ symbol, and 6 candidates of Bangladesh Congress with the ‘green coconut’ symbol.

Bangladesh’s ruling Awami League party is poised to clinch a fourth consecutive term in national polls set for Jan. 7, 2024.

As many as 2,260 candidates from 29 parties, including hundreds of independents, will officially be vying for votes in which Bangladeshis will elect representatives for 300 seats in the country’s legislature, the Jatiya Sangsad.

But none of these candidates will be from the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), the only one that could have posed a serious challenge to the Awami League and its 76-year-old leader, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
The BNP believes that unless the Hasina government steps down and an interim administration – or what is called a neutral caretaker government – is in place for the duration of the election, next month’s voting exercise will favor the ruling party.

Because Hasina refused to step down, the BNP on Nov. 30 formally announced it was boycotting the general election.

That’s mainly why we already know the outcome of the vote.

Here are other 10 reasons for why the outcome of the election is a foregone conclusion:

1. After eight years in the opposition, the Awami League and Hasina returned to power in 2009, benefitting from an election overseen by a caretaker government of the very kind it is refusing to step down and make way for.

2. Within two years of winning that election, the Awami League abolished the caretaker government system from the constitution, a move it made based on a partial reading of a Supreme Court ruling on the caretaker system provision.

This election is happens after every 5 years and it happens in every ward in Bangladesh people from different wards stand for the position of MP and people from the ward give vote to their favourite candidate

After 5 years again this election is happening in 7 January in the year of 2024
