Bangladesh’s latest general election has delivered a decisive mandate to the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), positioning Tarique Rahman to become the country’s next prime minister after nearly two decades out of power.
Bangladesh began voting in its 13th parliamentary election across 299 seats under tight security following the removal of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina. The contest is mainly between the BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami, while the Awami League is absent.
