BNP candidates have secured sweeping victories in all six parliamentary constituencies of Barishal, according to unofficial results announced by Returning Officer and District Commissioner Khairul Alam Suman at 3:30 a.m. on Thursday. The results show BNP’s ‘sheaf of paddy’ symbol candidates winning decisively across Barishal-1 through Barishal-6, with vote margins ranging from over 18,000 to more than 67,000. The announcement was made in the presence of the winning candidates, and party activists celebrated the outcome.

The election was conducted peacefully, with the returning officer expressing regret for the delay in result publication, citing the time needed to compile data from all six constituencies. BNP leaders described the outcome as a victory for democracy and the people, reaffirming Barishal as a BNP stronghold. Key winners include Zahid Uddin Swapan in Barishal-1, Sardar Sarfuddin Ahmed Santu in Barishal-2, and Mujibur Rahman Sarwar in Barishal-5.

BNP’s central organizing secretary Bilkis Akter Jahan Shirin said the results demonstrated the people’s renewed confidence in the party’s regional leadership and democratic process.
