Following the 2024 general election in Bangladesh, the Awami League won 224 of the 300 seats contested in the election, and was allocated 48 of the 50 seats reserved for women, giving it over three quarters of seats in the Jatiya Sangsad. Of the remaining 76 seats contested in the election, 62 were won by independent candidates, although the majority of these were affiliated with the Awami League and ran independently in an attempt to legitimize the Awami League's victory and give the impression of a free and fair election. Many Western governments and democratic observers claimed the election was neither free nor fair, and the past three elections have been boycotted by the main opposition party, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party. The government of Bangladesh is considered to have grown increasingly autocratic since Sheikh Hasina was re-elected Prime Minister in 2009, and with this election some organizations are now describing Bangladesh as a one-party-state.
