Bangladesh Nationalist Party sweeps to victory

The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has won a decisive majority in the recent parliamentary election, held after major protests led to the ousting of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Tarique Rahman is set to become the new prime minister, facing significant challenges in restoring democracy and reviving the economy.

The BNP secured more than two-thirds of the seats, with voter turnout at 59.44%. Rahman promised to restore democracy and tackle rising food prices, job creation, and improve relations with India. His leadership will be scrutinized by a youthful electorate eager for change.
