Encyclopedia : L : LI : LIS : List of political parties in Bangladesh
This article lists political parties in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh has a two-party system, which means that there are two dominant political parties, with extreme difficulty for anybody to achieve electoral success under the banner of another party.
However, though the center-left Awami League and center-right BNP dominated Bangladesh politics for a long time, currently both are heading coalitions of like minded parties with the AL leading the secular and liberal elements while BNP is rallying the Islamist fundamentalist parties.
