Bangladesh General Election 2026 Voting Live Updates: Voting concluded in Bangladesh’s 13th parliamentary elections, a key moment in the country’s political journey. The elections were held 18 months after Sheikh Hasina’s 15-year rule ended following student-led protests in July 2024, leading to an interim government under Muhammad Yunus. With the Awami League disbanded and barred from contesting, this is the first national election in decades without its participation.
The contest is primarily between the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and its former ally Jamaat-e-Islami, which is leading an 11-party coalition. As counting of votes is underway, the coalition headed by the BNP has taken a commanding lead, winning 212 seats so far. Meanwhile, the alliance led by Jamaat-e-Islami has secured 70 constituencies, based on unofficial tallies, ANI reported.
Opinion polls suggest BNP as the frontrunner, with its leader Tarique Rahman seeking a political comeback after years in exile. Follow for live updates.
