Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, ousted during the 13th parliamentary elections in Bangladesh, has raised serious questions on the election process, calling it fake, illegal and unconstitutional. Sheikh Hasina thanked the people of the country, especially women, minority communities and supporters for boycotting the elections and accused the head of the interim government Mohammad Yunus of weakening the democratic system.
In fact, bangladesh On Thursday, people voted in the important general elections to elect a new government. This election was held to replace the interim administration, which took power after the fall of the Awami League government in August 2024. Under the 13th parliamentary elections, voting was conducted from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm in 299 out of 300 parliamentary constituencies of the country. The election for a parliamentary seat was canceled due to the death of a candidate. Along with voting, a referendum was also conducted on the 84-point reform package.
This election is mainly being seen as a direct contest between Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and its former ally Jamaat-e-Islami. At the same time, the interim government of Mohammad Yunus had dissolved the Awami League last year and barred it from contesting elections.
‘Yunus seized power illegally’

He alleged that this election was a pre-planned fraud, in which the elections were conducted by keeping Awami League and voters out.
Sheikh Hasina claimed that incidents like capture of polling stations, firing, use of money to buy votes, forcibly stamping ballot papers and getting agents to sign result sheets had started from the evening of 11 February. He said that on the morning of February 12, the voting percentage was very low across the country and many polling stations remained completely empty.
‘The public boycotted the elections’
Citing Election Commission data, he said that till 11 am the voting was only 14.96 percent, which proves that the public boycotted the elections in the absence of Awami League. Sheikh Hasina also alleged that there were incidents of intimidation, arrests and attacks on Awami League supporters, voters and minority communities. Despite this, people ignored the fear and pressure and rejected the elections.
The former Prime Minister also claimed that the number of voters in the voter list, especially in Dhaka, has been unusually increased, which is suspicious. In her statement, Sheikh Hasina demanded that this election be cancelled, Mohammad Yunus resign, all political prisoners, teachers, journalists and professionals be released, restrictions imposed on Awami League be lifted and re-polling be held under a neutral caretaker government for fair and free elections.
