2018 Bangladeshi general election

The 2018 Bangladeshi general election was a parliamentary vote held on December 30, to elect members of the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament). It was notable for being a by-election, as no general election was scheduled for that year; instead, it was called to fill seats vacated or newly created. Voters across Bangladesh cast ballots to choose representatives, amid concerns over voter turnout, political tensions, and election fairness. The election process involved multiple parties, primarily the ruling Awami League and opposition groups. Overall, it aimed to maintain parliamentary representation but faced scrutiny over transparency and electoral integrity.
