Controversies

Boycotting election

BNP and its like minded parties boycotted the sub-district elections saying that they will not go in election under a autocracy government.[23] However, despite the boycott some party members from BNP contested in election. In result BNP expelled 73 members who were participating in the election.[11] Other party like Jatiya Party (Ershad) and Awami League allied parties also showed no interest in participating in the election. Leading the sub-district election be a more of a competition between Awami League candidates.[24]

Nepotism by Awami League ministers

Many top Awami League ministers and party lawmakers was accused of nepotism for announcing the names of their close relatives as chairman candidates for the upazila polls.[25] Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Awami League general secretary Obaidul Quader concerned over nepotism among AL candidates.[26] Many AL ministers was accused of threatening their opposition candidates or the people of sub-district.[27]

Violence

Many candidates supporters had clash with each other in the name of vote rigging.[28] Several people were injured and some were considered dead during the brutal violence.[29][30] Most of those violence was accused of done by Awami League candidates in the fear of losing.[31]

Low voters turnout

The sub-district election saw the lowest vote turnout in last 16 years.[32] Around all phases was having a turnout of 30-40%. 2nd phase of sub-district had the most vote turnout of only 37.67%.[15] According to the Chief Election Commissioner, the vote turnout is low due to a "lack of widespread political participation".[33]
