Sheikh Hasina, who has secured a record fifth term as prime minister, will decide who forms the opposition in the next parliament, Obaidul Quader has said amid speculations. The general secretary of the ruling Awami League faced questions about the matter at a press conference at its Dhaka District unit office in Tejgaon on Monday, a day after the party’s landslide victory in the election. The Election Commission has announced the results of 298 constituencies, out of which the Awami League has won 222. Independent candidates, almost all of whom are Awami League leaders, won the second highest number of seats with 62.

In the last two elections, the Jatiya Party came in second in parliamentary polls after the BNP’s boycott in 2014 and the debacle in 2018. Can they form an alliance and become an opposition party or not? The victorious independent candidates even united after the 2014 polls and joined the ruling party three and a half years later. This time too, if the independent candidates form a coalition and elect someone as their leader, then the Jatiya Party will have no chance to become the main opposition party, many experts believe. Of the rest, one is from the Jatiya Party and another defected from the BNP.

Chief Election Commissioner Kazi Habibul Awal says the turnout for the 12th national parliamentary polls was 41.8 per cent. Bangladesh held largely peaceful polls from 8 am to 4 pm on Sunday, but the election was marred by relatively low voter turnout, allegations of irregularities at several seats, and disruptions. The EC had promised to report the voter turnout on a ‘Smart Election Management’ app, but it did not happen. This led to questions about whether it would be the lowest turnout for nationwide polls since the election on Feb 15, 1996. At 2:30 am, EC Secretary Jahangir left the Election Commission premises without announcing the full results of the polls.

Majumder also pointed to ‘desperate efforts’ by the Bangladesh Election Commission to up the voter turnout statistics in ‘a rather strange way’.

The Awami League has secured an absolute majority with 223 out of 299 constituencies. Hasina, after casting her ballot in the morning, said she had no doubt that the Awami League would win. “Some of the independents may not join the Awami League, but most of them will.
