As Bangladesh gears up for election, where do religious parties stand?
Regardless of the turnout in religious events, support for Islamic-minded parties at the ballot box has traditionally been weak in Bangladesh. Should these parties choose to participate in the polls, the number of parties involved in the election will increase. Past election results indicate that these parties have generally received minimal votes, with some candidates succeeding primarily through alliances with major parties. Bangladesh Khelafat Andolan, Bangladesh Muslim League, Jamiat Ulama-e-Islam Bangladesh, Islami Oikya Jote, Bangladesh Khelafat Majlish, Islami Andolan Bangladesh, Bangladesh Islami Front, and Khelafat Majlish are contemplating their participation in the elections. Islami Andolan Bangladesh, Khelafat Majlish, Bangladesh Khelafat Majlish, and Jamiat Ulama-e-Islam have opted out of the electoral contest.

Russian claims of US election meddling hurt sentiments of Bangladeshis: BNP
The BNP has voiced objections to comments made by Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova about US envoy Peter Haas and the upcoming national elections, emphasising that the remarks conflict with the aspirations of the people of Bangladesh. In a statement released on Saturday, the country's largest opposition group said Zakharova's comments have hurt the sentiments of 'pro-democracy' Bangladeshis. It also outlined its hopes about Russia playing a constructive role in 'restoring democracy' in the country. During a media briefing in Russia on Nov 22, Zakharova alleged that Haas had met with an opposition leader to strategise an anti-government movement, thereby displaying an "open disregard" for the Vienna Convention. She also contended that Bangladesh possesses the capability to conduct "legitimate elections" without foreign intervention, accusing Washington of meddling in the country's internal affairs.
