13th National Parliamentary Election: Bandarban District

Bandarban District is known as a stronghold of the Awami League. This has been reflected in the results of previous elections. Indigenous communities also hold significant influence in this district. In past elections, the Awami League has consistently performed well in this constituency, though the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has also contested actively. With the Awami League absent from this election, the voting scenario may see some changes. Let’s take a look at the electoral picture of Bandarban.

Bandarban (Parliamentary Constituency No. 300): Bandarban constituency comprises the entire Bandarban district. This is the last (300th) constituency in the national parliament of Bangladesh. The total number of voters is 315,422, including 161,775 male and 153,647 female voters.
