#Firstpost Bangladesh Elections: BNP Flags Islamist Jamaat’s Influence In Poll Body | Spotlight | N18G

Bangladesh’s main opposition, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), has raised alarms over the presence of Jamaat-e-Islami-linked officials within the country’s election commission and government departments. The BNP alleges these appointments could compromise the neutrality of the interim government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, which is tasked with conducting elections in February 2026. The Yunus government had reversed the decade-long ban on Jamaat in August 2024, allowing the Islamist party to re-enter politics and rally in Dhaka. Jamaat has since allied with the National Citizen Party, further consolidating its influence. Meanwhile, parties remain divided over the “July Charter” — a reform blueprint proposing two-term limits for prime ministers and a November referendum.
