According to the final results of the 13th National Parliamentary Election, the Bangladesh Election Commission (EC) has announced outcomes for 297 constituencies and is preparing to publish the official gazette of the elected candidates. In this Awami League–free election, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) secured an absolute majority by winning 209 seats. Meanwhile, its former ally turned rival, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, emerged as the second-largest party with 68 seats. Out of a total of 299 parliamentary seats, results for 297 have been declared; the outcomes of two constituencies in Chattogram will be announced later following court directives, and the election in Sherpur-3 has been postponed due to the death of a candidate. EC Secretary Akhtar Ahmed stated that voter turnout in the 297 declared constituencies stood at 59.44 percent, while the simultaneous referendum recorded a turnout of 60.26 percent based on consolidated results from 299 seats. As both the parliamentary election and referendum were held on the same day, voter participation and statistical outcomes have drawn significant public attention.

In the party-wise breakdown of the 297 declared seats, BNP won 209 and Jamaat-e-Islami secured 68 seats. The National Citizens Party (NCP) won 6 seats. In addition, the Bangladesh Khelafat Majlis obtained 2 seats; Islami Andolan Bangladesh won 1 seat; Gono Odhikar Parishad secured 1 seat; Bangladesh Jatiya Party (BJP) gained 1 seat; Ganosamhati Andolon won 1 seat; Khelafat Majlis captured 1 seat; and independent candidates secured 7 seats.

Following the publication of the gazette, constitutional questions have arisen regarding who will administer the oath to the newly elected members of parliament. After the 2024 election, Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury assumed office as Speaker, but she is currently in hiding due to legal cases, while Deputy Speaker Shamsul Haque Tuku remains in prison in connection with legal matters. As a result, discussions have intensified over who will conduct the swearing-in ceremony. Election Commissioner Abdur Rahman stated that under Article 148(3) of the Constitution, if the Speaker or Deputy Speaker is absent or unable to administer the oath, the Chief Election Commissioner may do so from the fourth day following the declaration of results. Commissioner Masud reiterated that the EC’s responsibility is limited to publishing the gazette, after which the government will take necessary steps.

With Ramadan approaching, relevant authorities have indicated that swift arrangements may be made for the oath-taking ceremony, potentially enabling the formation of a new government before the holy month begins. Legal adviser Asif Nazrul also noted that if elected members fail to take the oath within three days, the Chief Election Commissioner can administer it, or alternatively, a person nominated by the President may assume that responsibility. Overall, with the announcement of the final results, a new political phase has begun in Bangladesh, as the majority-winning BNP prepares to form the government and other parties position themselves within the evolving parliamentary landscape.
