The importance of this election in Bangladesh is because Awami League has been banned from participating in the elections. Other parties including Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and Jamaat are playing lead roles on seat-sharing basis. There has been a huge change in the election environment, due to which it has become difficult to predict the result.

Let us tell you, these elections are going to be held on February 12, 2024, which will be two years after the July uprising in which former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was removed from power. Apart from this, the Constitutional Referendum and the July National Charter will also be decided on that day.

According to the press wing of the Chief Advisor, 394 international election observers and 197 foreign journalists have come to Bangladesh for these elections. Of these 394 observers, 240 are from bilateral countries, including independent observers from the European Union, while the remaining 51 are associated with various global organizations.
