Despite the Awami League’s formal suspension, reports indicate that several individuals linked to the banned party are contesting the upcoming parliamentary elections in Bangladesh under independent or smaller party banners. Intelligence sources and field investigations have revealed that former ministers, advisers, and grassroots leaders are seeking nominations through parties such as Ganadhikar Parishad, Jatiya Party (Ershad), Jatiya Party (JP), and Bangladesh Congress. The Election Commission had earlier warned that proven links to banned organizations would lead to disqualification, but doubts remain about enforcement.
The report highlights multiple constituencies, including Gopalganj, Tangail, Manikganj, Faridpur, Bogura, Khulna, and Chuadanga, where candidates with Awami League ties are running under alternative affiliations. Security agencies have identified these constituencies as high-risk due to possible unrest. Law enforcement has been advised to increase army and border guard patrols to prevent violence or vote center takeovers.
Experts warn that the covert participation of banned political actors poses a new challenge for electoral integrity and long-term political stability in Bangladesh, urging voter awareness and strict monitoring of campaign activities.
