Bangladesh is set to hold its 13th national parliamentary elections and a referendum on reforms on February 12, 2026, amidst a highly volatile political climate. With the once-dominant Awami League not participating in the upcoming elections and many voters feeling uncertain about their options, the Bangladesh elections are in for a political rollercoaster, one that’s rife with unpredictability.
More than 127 million individuals are eligible to vote in the February 12 elections, an electoral process that’s viewed as one of the most critical in decades and the first following the mass protests that ousted Sheikh Hasina from power in August 2024.
