The United States Embassy in Dhaka has congratulated the people of Bangladesh, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), and its chairman Tarique Rahman following the country’s 13th national parliamentary election. The embassy issued a statement on Friday morning, February 13, 2026, a day after the election, recognizing the completion of the democratic process as a reflection of the political awareness and participation of the Bangladeshi people.

In its statement, the US Embassy extended congratulations to the BNP and Tarique Rahman for their victory and expressed optimism that the existing partnership between Bangladesh and the United States would continue to strengthen. The embassy also noted that both countries would work together on regional stability, economic cooperation, and security issues.

The 13th national election and referendum were held on February 12, 2026. Tarique Rahman’s BNP secured a majority and is now on course to form the next government. Rahman recently returned to Bangladesh after 17 years in exile in London and led his party to victory shortly after the passing of his mother, former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia.

Bangladesh’s long-awaited parliamentary election and referendum were held peacefully and spontaneously, with no major incidents reported. The vote marked the first national election since the fall of former ruler Sheikh Hasina during the July Revolution. International media gave extensive coverage throughout the day, describing a festive atmosphere at polling stations and strong voter participation.

Qatar-based Al Jazeera broadcast live updates, analyzing voter behavior and security measures. The BBC called it a historic election, warning of challenges ahead for the next government. Reuters highlighted high voter turnout and featured reactions from citizens, including a Dhaka voter expressing support for Jamaat leader Dr. Shafiqur Rahman. The Guardian, Washington Post, and New York Times also emphasized the election’s significance following Hasina’s ouster and earlier student protests.

Indian and Pakistani media covered the event widely, though some Indian outlets were accused of spreading misinformation. Pakistani outlets such as Dawn and Geo News described the vote as a historic moment and a sign of hope for a new era in Bangladesh.

BNP candidate Selim Reza has won the Sirajganj-1 constituency, which includes Kazipur and parts of Sadar, according to unofficial results published on February 13, 2026. He secured 115,132 votes under the paddy sheaf symbol. His nearest rival, Jamaat’s Maulana Shahinur Alam, received 106,732 votes, leaving a margin of 8,400 votes between them.

The unofficial results were compiled from 16 unions and one municipality within the constituency. Official confirmation of the results is still pending. A total of 165 polling centers served 385,000 registered voters, and six candidates contested in this seat.

The report also mentioned that in other regions, BNP candidates achieved notable victories, including all three seats in Manikganj and a historic win in Tungipara-Kotalipara, while Jamaat failed to secure any of the 19 seats in Sylhet.

Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) achieved a sweeping victory in the 13th national election across Sylhet Division, winning 18 out of 19 parliamentary seats. The only exception was one seat won by the BNP’s alliance partner, Khelafat Majlish. The results confirmed BNP’s dominance in the region, with the party also securing a parliamentary majority to form the next government. In the symbolic Sylhet-1 constituency, Khandaker Abdul Muktadir won with 176,936 votes, continuing the long-held belief that the winning party in this seat goes on to form the national government.

Political analysts cited BNP’s accurate candidate selection and effective campaign strategy as key factors behind the landslide. In contrast, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami failed to win any seat in Sylhet, reportedly due to internal alliance issues and frequent candidate changes. Despite this, Jamaat’s vote share increased in several constituencies.

BNP’s new chairman Tarique Rahman launched the national campaign from Sylhet on January 22, following visits to two major shrines. The party’s near-total victory in Sylhet marks a significant political shift in the region.

Bangladesh’s 13th National Parliament election and referendum were completed in a festive and peaceful atmosphere, coinciding with Eid celebrations. Citizens participated enthusiastically, which observers described as a victory for democracy and a setback for the Awami League’s political blueprint. Interim government Chief Adviser Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus congratulated the nation, crediting voters’ spontaneous participation, political parties’ responsible conduct, and institutional professionalism for ensuring a credible process.

Analysts noted that organizing a free and fair election posed a major challenge for the Yunus-led interim government, given the banned Awami League’s activities and what they termed India’s uncooperative stance. Despite these obstacles, the government was praised for delivering a transparent and orderly vote. Political analyst Dr. Mahbub Ullah said attempts by the banned Awami League and external actors to disrupt the election had failed, while voters expressed long-awaited joy in exercising their rights.

According to the report, the referendum produced 75.34 percent “yes” votes and 24.66 percent “no” votes, with the BNP achieving a landslide victory. Foreign observers reportedly expressed satisfaction with the election process, though results in three constituencies remain pending.

BNP-backed candidates have been declared unofficial winners in all three constituencies of Manikganj, according to results published on February 13, 2026. In Manikganj-1 (168), S A Jinnah Kabir received 137,773 votes, defeating independent candidate Md Tozammel Haque, who secured 77,818 votes. In Manikganj-2 (169), Moinul Islam Khan won with 175,776 votes, while his nearest rival, Md Salauddin of Khelafat Majlish, obtained 81,531 votes. In Manikganj-3 (170), Afroza Khanam triumphed with 167,345 votes, surpassing Bangladesh Khelafat Majlish’s Muhammad Saidnur, who received 64,242 votes.

The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) is set to form the government for the fourth time after twenty years, following a sweeping victory in the 13th National Parliamentary Election.
