A new survey by the US-funded International Republican Institute (IRI) indicates that the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) would receive 30% of votes if the 13th national parliamentary election were held soon. The poll shows Jamaat-e-Islami with 26% support, the National Citizen Party (NCP) with 6%, the Jatiya Party with 5%, and Islami Andolan Bangladesh with 4%, while other parties collectively hold 8%. Conducted between September 13 and October 12, 2025, the survey interviewed 4,985 adults across 63 districts, excluding Rangamati, with a 95% confidence level and a 1.4% margin of error. The study also found that 69% of respondents support Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus and 70% express satisfaction with the interim government’s performance. Moreover, 80% of participants believe the upcoming election will be free and fair, reflecting a generally positive public outlook toward the current political transition.
