The influence of organizations associated with the ruling party is increasing day by day, which is also evident in the results of this election.
The debacle of the BNP-Jamaat Panthi Green Party has highlighted their organizational weakness. On the other hand, the good results of independent yellow parties prove that many members of professional organizations are interested in leading organizations outside of party politics.

Its leadership can influence the policy-making level as well as protecting the interests of bank officials and conducting welfare activities. In particular, the role of representatives of these councils in formulating central bank policy and influencing the economy is increasing.
