The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has achieved a historic landslide victory in Bangladesh's 13th general election, marking a significant political shift in the country. According to DawnNews English, the BNP, led by Tarique Rahman, secured 209 seats, achieving a two-thirds majority in the 300-member Jatiya Sangsad. This election follows the 2024 Gen Z-led uprising that ousted long-time Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, a period characterized by political unrest and economic disruption. The Financial Express highlights that this election is seen as Bangladesh's first truly competitive poll in years, with the BNP and its allies winning 212 out of 299 seats, while the opposition managed just 70. The BNP's campaign focused on financial aid for poor families, attracting foreign investment, and anti-corruption measures, with Rahman poised to become the next Prime Minister.
