Election Commission releases names of newly elected lawmakers, date of swearing-in yet to be announced <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n

By SM Najmus Sakib<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bangladesh’s Jamaat-e-Islami party-led alliance on Saturday accepted the results of Thursday\u2019s general election after claiming some irregularities in the ballot counting process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the election, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) secured 209 parliamentary seats, a two-thirds majority, while its close contender Jamaat won 68 seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BNP-led alliance won 212 seats in total, whereas the Jamaat-led bloc won a total of 77 seats, with the remaining seats obtained by other parties and independent candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jamaat’s chief Shafiqur Rahman said in a post on US social media platform Facebook early on Saturday that his party and alliance accepted the overall election results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe recognise the overall outcome, and we respect the rule of law,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will serve as a vigilant, principled, and peaceful opposition, holding the government to account while contributing constructively to national progress,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He, however, alleged that some faced intimidation and harassment simply for exercising their democratic right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, on Friday night, their alliance at a news conference alleged that there were some irregularities in the vote counting process as dozens of candidates won the competition in a tough competition and with a low margin.<\/p>\n\n\n

One person was killed in post-election violence on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, interim government head Muhammad Yunus, in a statement on Saturday, congratulated BNP chairperson Tarique Rahman on the landslide victory of his party under his leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis clear verdict of the people in the historic process of democratic transition will be a very important milestone in the country’s constitutional and democratic continuity and institutional stability,\u201d said Yunus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the Election Commission early on Saturday published the official gazette notification, releasing the names of the newly elected lawmakers in 297 constituencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The voting in 299 of the 300-seat parliament was held on Thursday. The election in a constituency has been suspended due to the death of a candidate before the election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 127,6 million people were eligible to cast ballots, and the country recorded a voter turnout of 59,44%, up from 41,8% in the January 2024 elections. Those polls were boycotted by the BNP-Jamaat opposition under ousted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The date of the oath-taking ceremony, however, has not yet been announced by the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, law adviser Asif Nazrul said that due to the absence of the speaker or deputy speaker of the last parliament, the oath-taking ceremony of the new lawmakers will be administered by a “presidential nominee”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also said that if no one takes the oath within three days of being elected, then the chief election commissioner can administer the oath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The commission also officially published the referendum results on constitutional reforms. Votes in favor exceeded 60%, with a voter turnout of 59,44%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the EU Election Observation Mission vising Dhaka on Saturday at news conference termed Thursday’s general elections as credible and a pivotal step toward restoring democracy and rule of law in Bangladesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe electoral legal framework largely accords with international standards, while the Bangladesh Election Commission worked independently and transparently, maintaining stakeholders\u2019 confidence and lending integrity to the polls,\u201d Ivars Ijabs, a member of the European Parliament and the chief observer of the mission, said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
