3 hours agoWhat does BNP's landslide mean for Bangladesh's post-uprising order?
BNP won a landslide February 12 election and will form the first elected government since the July 2024 uprising.
Rahman returned home in December after more than 17 years in self-imposed exile following mass protests in 2024 that toppled longtime premier Sheikh Hasina. Going into Thursday's vote, Rahman had set his sights on securing a mandate strong enough to govern alone, and he had pledged to restore peace and stability under a democratic government, following years of increasingly authoritarian rule.
