So far, ten parliamentary elections were held in Bangladesh, of which three—the 1988 election during the Ershad regime, the February 15, 1996 election under the BNP government, and the January 5, 2014 election under the Awami League-led Grand Alliance government—were one-sided.

BNP spokesperson Asaduzzaman Ripon claims there is no idealistic relation between BNP and Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami.
