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.
