Country context

Multiparty parliamentary electoral system after the February 2026 election, with significant party restrictions and disputed inclusion.

The Awami League remains restricted and was excluded from the 2026 election. Party profiles distinguish continuing political identity from legal electoral participation. The February 2026 elected parliament postdates the 2025 closed-autocracy baseline; chart eligibility does not erase exclusions or restrictions on party competition.
