In Bangladesh elections, Tariq Rahman’s party BNP won 209 out of 297 seats, while the fundamentalist Jamaat-e-Islami, considered close to Pakistan, got 68 seats. Meanwhile, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami President Amir Shafiqur Rahman has announced that his party will accept the results of the 13th national parliamentary election and will work as a responsible opposition party.
Efforts of workers did not go in vain: Shafiqur Rahman
Shafiqur Rehman posted on Facebook on Saturday (14 February 2026) that his party has always been committed to a stable and effective democratic system and is firm on that position. He said that we accept the results of the elections and respect the rule of law. He told the party leaders and workers that even though some people were feeling disappointed, their efforts had not gone in vain as the party had won 77 seats.
Not a shock, but a foundation: Shafiqur Rahman
According to Shafiqur Rahman, now the presence of his party in the Parliament of Bangladesh has increased almost four times, due to which Jamaat-e-Islami has become a strong opposition force. He said, ‘The election result is not a shock, but a foundation. The real test of party leadership lies not only in the election campaign but also in the way it accepts the public’s decision. Shafiqur Rahman said that his movement is not about any one election, but about strengthening democracy, protecting the rights of citizens and building Bangladesh.
Jamaat-e-Islami made allegations of rigging in elections
Radical party Jamaat-e-Islami alleged that the results were rigged in some constituencies. Jamaat Chief Shafiqur Rehman claimed that since Friday (13 February 2026) night, there have been attacks on the houses of leaders and workers of the Jamaat-led 11 party election alliance in many parts of the country. According to the report of Bangladeshi newspaper Prothom Alo, he said, ‘If the election results come normally then usually there is no major objection. Generally everyone accepts it. If there is any major discrimination or irregularities then it naturally raises questions.
