The National Citizens Party (NCP) secured 7.1% support, followed by Islami Andolan Bangladesh at 3.1%, and other parties at 4.5%.

The survey was conducted from November 21 to December 20, 2025, involving 22,174 voters across 295 parliamentary constituencies in 64 districts. Stratified sampling and post-stratification weighting were employed to maintain a balance between urban and rural populations.

Reasons for Voter Support:
BNP: 72.1% of supporters cited the party’s past administrative experience and governance as the primary reason. Support is notably higher among the working-age population (30–59 years), farmers, and laborers.

Jamaat-e-Islami: Supporters favor the party for its "less corrupt" image and "reputation for honesty." Support is strongest among young voters (18–29 years) and the highly educated demographic.

NCP: 36.7% of its supporters attributed their choice to the party’s "role in the July Revolution."

Analysis indicates that voters are primarily prioritizing institutional reform, anti-corruption measures, and justice. The undecided voters are seen as the potential "game changers" who could determine the final outcome of the election.

The survey results were released at the National Press Club in the presence of Shafiul Alam Shahin, Executive Director of IILD; political analyst Professor Dr. Mushtaq Khan; and AKM Fahim Mashroor, CEO of Bdjobs.
