The sudden inclusion of nearly 2 million new voters across 20 parliamentary constituencies in metropolitan Dhaka has raised serious concerns about the neutrality and transparency of Bangladesh’s electoral process. Political parties and election observers allege that the scale, timing, and geographic concentration of these additions suggest deliberate manipulation rather than routine voter list updates.
