This election was boycotted by the main opposition pary, the 
Bangladesh National Party. As a result, members were elected 
unopposed in 155 seats, while many Awami League candidates faced only 
token opposition. This greatly reduced turnout. At the 2008 election, 
69.2 million votes were cast. Turnout at this election was thus only 
22% of turnout in 2008. All the minor parties which won seats were
allies of the Awami League.
