According to political scientist Ali Riaz, the elections were not free and fair.[3] The BBC News reported that they were marred by violence and allegations of vote rigging.[4] Opposition leader Kamal Hossain rejected the results, calling it "farcical" and demanding fresh elections to be held under a neutral government. The Bangladesh Election Commission said it would investigate reported vote-rigging allegations from "across the country."[5][6] The election saw the use of electronic voting machines for the first time.[7]
