Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has claimed victory in the country’s first parliamentary election since the 2024 uprising, saying it has secured enough seats to form the next government. The final results are yet to be announced by the Election Commission.
Jamaat-e-Islami was one of the BNP’s main challengers in the election. The Islamist party questioned the credibility of the vote on Friday, alleging “repeated inconsistencies and fabrications” in the unofficial results.
