    Bangladesh Election: BNP Storms to Power in Bangladesh Polls

    2 hours ago

    The political picture in Bangladesh is now almost completely clear. Out of 299 parliamentary constituencies, results have been declared for 296 seats, while outcomes for three seats — Sherpur-2, Chattogram-2, and Chattogram-4 — have been temporarily suspended due to legal issues involving winning candidates. The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has secured a massive mandate, winning 213 seats — a two-thirds majority. Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and its allies managed 74 seats, eight independents won, and one seat went to Islami Andolan Bangladesh. This marks a dramatic political comeback for Tarique Rahman, who had been living abroad since 2008. His return signals a historic shift, with Bangladesh poised to have a male Prime Minister for the first time since 1991, after decades dominated by Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina. Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Rahman, calling the victory a reflection of public trust and expressing readiness to strengthen bilateral ties. BNP responded positively, signaling improved India-Bangladesh relations after months of diplomatic strain under the interim Yunus government.
