The Election Commission (EC) of Bangladesh has assured that the official gazette for the 13th National Parliament election results will be published soon following the completion of vote counting. EC Secretary Akhtar Ahmed announced this at a press conference on Friday, noting that voting took place uninterrupted across 299 constituencies from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The commission confirmed a voter turnout of 59.44 percent.

According to the EC, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) won 209 of the 297 declared seats, while Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami secured 68. The Nationalist Citizens Party (NCP) won six seats, and Bangladesh Khelafat Majlish won two. These three parties are part of an 11-party alliance. Other parties, including Islami Andolon, Gono Odhikar Parishad, Bangladesh National Party, Gonosonghoti Andolon, and Khelafat Majlish, each won one seat, while seven independents were elected.

Results for two constituencies in Chattogram remain suspended pending High Court appeals related to loan cases, and one constituency’s election was postponed due to a candidate’s death. The EC has included the vote counts from the suspended constituencies in the overall tally.
