2018 Bangladeshi parliamentary election

The 2018 Bangladeshi parliamentary election marked the 11th general election, held on December 30, 2018, to select members of the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament). The election was boycotted by the main opposition party, leading to a landslide victory for the ruling Awami League and its allies, who secured most seats. Voter turnout was high, but concerns were raised about the fairness and transparency of the electoral process. Overall, the election maintained the country's political stability but faced criticism over issues related to electoral competition and democratic practices.
