The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has won the country's crucial parliamentary election with a thumping majority, with leader Tarique Rahman poised to become the prime minister, according to local news reports. Bangladesh Election Commission results published by Dhaka Tribune and Prothomalo English news website on Saturday showed Rahman's BNP overwhelmingly winning the polls. But there has been no official announcement.

The vote scheduled for February 12 is seen as a major test for democracy in the South Asian nation. Campaigning has begun in Bangladesh as the country prepares to hold the first national elections since the 2024 uprising that ousted longtime Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The major political parties on Thursday held campaign rallies in the capital, Dhaka, ahead of the vote scheduled for February 12.
