It should be noted that the 12th National Parliament election was held on January 7. In that election Awami League got single majority by getting 223 seats. Besides, Jatiya Party won 11 seats and Workers Party, Jasad and Kalyan Party won one seat each. Apart from this, 62 independent candidates have won the election. Fifty-eight of the independent MPs are directly associated with Awami League. Since the long-time leaders of Awami League are independent candidates, independent MPs are confused about what their role will be in Parliament.
