The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has held on to its strong lead over the past six months, but its arch-rival, the Awami League, has made the biggest gains, according to a major nationwide survey released on Wednesday.
The nationwide poll, conducted by Innovision Consulting between September 2nd and 15th with more than 10,000 respondents, shows the Awami League improving its standing among voters by nearly five percentage points since March. The party, ousted in a popular uprising last year, now commands about 19 percent support, up from a low of 14 percent.
