In the 12th National Parliament election, no candidate from any other political party managed to secure victory against the ruling Awami League. The Awami League graciously conceded those seats to the winning candidates of four other parties. Additionally, out of the 27 political parties that participated in the elections, 22 failed to secure any seats. Notably, none of the candidates from the three major parties—Trinamool BNP, BNF, and Bangladesh Supreme Party—could win or secure their deposits. A significant number of candidates contesting the 299 constituencies ended up forfeiting their security deposits. These findings were derived from analyzing the results of the parliamentary elections held on Sunday, January 7.

Analyzing the election results revealed a distinctive outcome unprecedented in the history of independent Bangladesh. Badiul Alam Majumder, secretary of SHUJAN: Citizens for Good Governance, expressed with a smile, "I don't recall witnessing such election dynamics in Bangladesh before. This can be characterized as a one-party election, seemingly exclusive to the Awami League."

In the four constituencies of Satkhira district, 30 candidates participated, comprising 22 candidates from 10 registered political parties and eight independent candidates. Unfortunately, the security deposits of 23 candidates, encompassing both party-affiliated and independent contenders, have been forfeited.

In Narsingdi district, among the 33 candidates, 23 lost their security deposits. The exception to this trend was observed among the Awami League nominees and their independent counterparts within the party. Most candidates, nearly all except the aforementioned, secured less than five per cent of the votes, with 23 candidates receiving less than one per cent. The electoral regulations dictate that a candidate's security deposit will be forfeited if they obtain less than eight per cent of the total votes cast.

According to data from the District Returning Officer, Narsingdi witnessed an average voter turnout of 41 per cent. Notably, the BNF candidate in Raipura Upazila, Beatu Mia, garnered the fewest votes, securing only 75 votes across 163 centres.

The analysis of election results revealed a noteworthy pattern where some individuals elected from other parties contested using the boat symbol while others ran as candidates endorsed by the Awami League. Unfortunately, most candidates from different political parties, including 250 Jatiya Party candidates, forfeited their security deposits. Interestingly, all 11 winners from the Jatiya Party secured seats that the Awami League left. In a striking turn, the Awami League, without showing any mercy, did not secure victory in any seat, marking a unique electoral outcome.

In the 12th parliamentary elections, the distribution of seats among various political parties is as follows: Awami League: 266 seats; Jatiya Party: 265 seats; Zaker Party: 21 seats; Trinamool BNP: 135 seats; National People's Party: 122 seats; Bangladesh Congress: 96 seats; Jasad: 66 seats; Bangladesh Supreme Party: 79 seats; Bangladesh Cultural Liberation Alliance: 63 seats; Bangladesh Nationalist Front (BNA): 45 seats; Bangladesh Nationalist Movement (BNM): 56 seats; Bangladesh Tariqat Federation: 38 seats; Islami Oikyajot: 42 seats; Islamic Front Bangladesh: 39 seats; Bangladesh Islamic Front: 37 seats; Krishak Sramik Janata League: 30 seats; Workers Party: 26 seats; Gano Front: 21 seats; Jatiya Party (JP): 13 seats; Kalyan Party: 16 seats; Khilafat Movement: 11 seats; Alternative Dhara Bangladesh: 10 seats; Bangladesh Jatiya Party: 5 seats; Gano Forum: 9 seats; Samyabadi Dal: 4 seats; Bangladesh National Awami Party (NAP): 5 seats; Muslim League (BML): 4 seats. Apart from the Awami League, the four parties that secured victories in the elections are the Jatiya Party with 11 seats, Jasad with one seat, the Workers Party with one seat, and the Kalyan Party with one seat.
