National Parliamentary Election
13th National Parliamentary Election: Feni District
In Feni district, the electoral strength of the Awami League and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has traditionally been almost equal. This pattern is reflected in the results of all national parliamentary elections held in the country, except for the last three. However, in the upcoming 13th National Parliamentary Election, the absence of the Awami League has significantly altered the electoral dynamics in Feni. This time, the main contest is expected to take place primarily between BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami. Below is an overview of the three parliamentary constituencies in Feni district.
13th National Parliamentary Election: Chandpur District

This pattern is evident in the results of past elections considered competitive (excluding the elections of 2014, 2018, and 2024). However, in the 13th National Parliamentary Election, the absence of the Awami League has reshaped the electoral calculations, prompting voters to reassess the political landscape. Below is an overview of the election contests in Chandpur’s five constituencies.
