The primary reason for the boycott of the general elections in Bangladesh in January 2014 by the main opposition parties, led by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), was their demand for the election to be held under a non-partisan caretaker government. The ruling Awami League government had abolished the caretaker government system in 2011.

The opposition argued that elections held under a political government, rather than a neutral interim body, would be unfair and rigged in favour of the ruling party. This demand was central to their stance.

The caretaker government system was originally introduced to ensure free and fair elections by temporarily handing power to a non-partisan body during the election period. Its abolition led to significant political crisis and deadlock in Bangladesh.
