The Awami League-led Grand Alliance may win 248 seats in the 11th national parliamentary election, according to a survey.
Its rival, the Jatiya Oikya Front, is likely to win 49 seats, while three may go to independent candidates.
An organisation, known as the Research and Development Center, conducted the survey between Dec 9 and Dec 16. Forrest E Cookson, an American consultant, presented the findings at a news conference at the Westin Hotel in Dhaka on Wednesday. “I am a researcher,” he said. “But I have worked as a consultant on many
surveys,” he said. “I have also served as a consultant on many projects by the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics.”
Cookson said he worked with various research and survey organisations in Bangladesh.
The survey was conducted on Bangladeshi voters participating in the 2018 parliamentary election.
The sample size of the survey was 2,249 and the respondents were drawn from towns and cities in 51 parliamentary seats, Cookson said.
