Historically, Rajshahi-6 was a BNP stronghold. Both parties are making development promises to attract voters, making this election one of the most closely watched contests in northern Bangladesh. The Rajshahi-6 election highlights a significant shift in local politics. With the Awami League absent, the traditional BNP stronghold faces a new challenge from Jamaat-e-Islami, reflecting a broader trend seen across constituencies nationwide. The outcome will reveal whether BNP can reclaim its dominance or if Jamaat can capture the seat for the first time.
