BNP to win election if fair election held, locals claimFrom 1991 to 2008, BNP held a 100% record of wins in the Noakhali 1 constituency. A BNP activist claimed that Awami League only got to power in the 2014 election because BNP boycotted the election. AL active, other parties’ campaigns quietThe Awami League is far ahead of the other parties—especially BNP—with their election campaign. Aside from the Awami League posters dotting the upazilas, a few posters of Islami Andolon Bangladesh are visible. "The police, under the direction of Awami League cadres, carry out attacks on us whenever we venture out to campaign."
