The 2024 Bangladesh general election is scheduled to be held on 21 January 2024. The election will be held to elect the members of the 11th Jatiya Sangsad, the lower house of the National Parliament of Bangladesh.

The incumbent Awami League (AL) government, led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, is expected to win the election. The AL has been in power since 2009 and has a strong track record of economic development.

The main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), led by former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, is boycotting the election. The BNP has accused the AL of corruption and electoral fraud.

The election is expected to be closely contested. The AL will need to win a majority of seats in the Jatiya Sangsad to remain in power.

Here are some key issues that are likely to be important in the election:

• The economy: The AL government has been credited with leading Bangladesh to economic growth. The BNP has criticized the AL's economic policies, saying that they have not benefited the poor.
• Corruption: The BNP has accused the AL of corruption. The AL has denied these allegations.
• Electoral fraud: The BNP has accused the AL of electoral fraud. The AL has denied these allegations.

The outcome of the election will have a significant impact on the future of Bangladesh. If the AL wins, it will likely continue with its current policies. If the BNP wins, it is likely to pursue a different approach to governance.
