Former Pme Minister Khaleda Zia's son and BNP President Tariq Rehman is almost certain to become the Prime Minister. Rahman, who contested in two constituencies, also won both the seats.

Jamaat chief Sifuqar Rehman has won Dhaka 15. Other parties and independent candidates have won three seats.

Rahman returned to the country after 17 years in December last year.

The June election is giving Bangladesh a new prime minister after 35 years.
