The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has claimed a decisive victory in Bangladesh's 13th general election, securing a two-thirds majority with at least 212 seats out of 299, according to projections by Jamuna TV and other local channels. This election marks the BNP's return to power after 20 years, with Tarique Rahman, son of the party's founder, expected to become the new prime minister. The election follows a Gen Z-led uprising in 2024 that ousted long-time Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The BNP's victory is seen as a potential stabilizing factor for the nation, which has been experiencing political unrest and economic disruptions, particularly in its garment industry, the second-largest in the world (Dawn, Business Recorder).
