DHAKA: A recent public opinion poll conducted in Bangladesh for the 13th national parliamentary elections to be held on February 12 has predicted a close contest between the BNP<\/a> and the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami-led coalition.<\/p>\n

Bangladeshi media reported that the poll predicted that the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP)-led coalition would get 44.1 percent of the vote, while the 11-party electoral alliance led by the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami could get 43.9 percent.<\/p>\n

The survey was conducted among 63,115 voters across the country, including 36,634 men and 26,981 women.<\/p>\n

According to the survey, 92 percent of respondents said they planned to vote, while 4.4 percent said they would not vote and 2.5 percent said they were undecided.<\/p>\n

Although the BNP alliance has a slight lead in the proportion of total votes, the survey shows that the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami-led alliance is ahead in the constituencies where the result is considered almost certain.<\/p>\n

According to the survey, the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami-led alliance can get a clear victory in 105 constituencies, while the BNP alliance can get a clear lead in 101 seats.<\/p>\n

In addition, a tight competition is expected between the candidates of the two major alliances in 75 constituencies, while the candidates of other political parties are likely to win in 19 constituencies.<\/p>\n
