In the 13th parliamentary election, all candidates of Islami Andolan Bangladesh, led by the Charmonai Pir, lost their deposits in the Chattogram region. The party fielded candidates in 20 of the 23 constituencies but failed to secure the required one-eighth of total votes in any seat, as stipulated by the Election Commission. Most constituencies saw main contests between BNP and Jamaat candidates, while Islami Front and Khilafat Majlis outperformed Islami Andolan in several areas.
Vote data show Islami Andolan’s candidates received very low support across northern, southern, and metropolitan Chattogram, as well as in Cox’s Bazar and the Chittagong Hill Tracts. The highest vote count for the party in the region was 5,145 in Chattogram-3, far below the winning BNP candidate’s 72,579. In Chattogram-10, the party’s city leader Md. Jannatul Islam secured only 3,880 votes out of 492,442 registered voters.
Political analysts noted that the results raise questions about the party’s future strategy. Md. Jannatul Islam said people are power-hungry and do not understand Sharia, but expressed hope for future progress.
