According to the Election Commission’s consolidated results, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) established dominance in the Dhaka, Chattogram, Sylhet, Mymensingh, and Barishal divisions during the 13th parliamentary election. In contrast, the Jamaat-e-Islami-led 11-party alliance showed greater influence in Rangpur and Khulna divisions. The nationwide referendum held alongside the election recorded 60.84 percent voter turnout, slightly higher than the 60.12 percent in the parliamentary polls. Out of 299 constituencies, the ‘Yes’ vote prevailed in 287, while the ‘No’ vote won in 12 constituencies—all of which were also won by BNP candidates.
The Commission reported that a total of 77.7 million votes were cast in the referendum, of which 70.27 million were valid. Among valid ballots, 62.04 percent supported ‘Yes’ and 28.41 percent supported ‘No’, with 9.55 percent invalid. Notably, all three constituencies in Gopalganj and three in the Chittagong Hill Tracts recorded majority ‘No’ votes. The highest referendum turnout was 82.58 percent in Pabna-2, while the lowest was 37.34 percent in Dhaka-12.
The results indicate BNP’s regional strength and a mixed pattern of voter engagement across divisions, with higher participation in Rangpur and Khulna and lower in the BNP-dominated regions.
