As Bangladesh prepares for general elections in February, the Jamaat-e-Islami and National Citizen Party (NCP) have raised concerns about the fairness of the polls. The NCP alleges the electoral system is being manipulated to favor the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). This comes as BNP leader Tarique Rahman returns to Bangladesh after years in exile, following his acquittal on charges. Concerns are also voiced over the nomination validity of certain candidates despite allegations against them, questioning the administration's impartiality.
