An election right now will be too close to call for the ruling Awami League and the BNP, according to the recent opinion poll survey by the Dhaka Tribune.
In its first opinion poll survey in December last year, the BNP was marginally ahead in terms of popularity over the Awami League.
But the latest opinion poll found that the ruling Awami League was ahead of the BNP.
At the latest survey, it was found that 35.6% respondents would vote for the Awami League and 34.8% for the BNP. In the first survey last year, the BNP (37%) was ahead of the Awami League (36%).
According to the latest opinion poll, the Jatiya Party had only 3% popular support while the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami 1.8%.
The previous survey said the JaPa would get 4.9% of the votes.
At the recent opinion poll, over 14% voters said they were undecided about whom they would support if the election is held right now and 1% voters said they would not vote.
Around 9% of the voters did not say anything about who they would vote for.
However, the undecided voters and those declining to disclose their support constitute 23.4%, which will be the deciding factor if any election is held right now.
