Ahead of Bangladesh’s 13th National Parliamentary Election, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami filed counter complaints with the Election Commission (EC) on Sunday regarding the electoral environment and code of conduct. Separate delegations met Chief Election Commissioner A.M.M. Nasir Uddin in Dhaka to present their concerns.
BNP alleged that discussions were underway to form so-called 'peace committees' in the name of maintaining order, accused some groups of using religion in campaigns, and claimed abnormal voter transfers in Dhaka and other areas. The party also opposed deploying Bangladesh National Cadet Corps (BNCC) members in election duties and requested measures against outsiders in constituencies before voting. Jamaat-e-Islami, meanwhile, complained that a level playing field had not been ensured and cited recent killings and violence as major obstacles to peaceful polls. Its representatives urged the EC to act impartially and protect women voters allegedly facing intimidation.
Separately, the Election Observer Society held a human chain outside the EC office demanding travel and meal allowances and better security for local election observers, while over 157,000 postal ballots from expatriate voters had already arrived in Bangladesh.
