In a historic political shift, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has secured a landslide victory in the 2026 general elections, marking a significant change in the country's political landscape. According to DawnNews English, the BNP, led by Tarique Rahman, won 209 seats, achieving a two-thirds majority in the 300-member Jatiya Sangsad. This election is the first since the 2024 Gen Z-led uprising that ousted long-time Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, a period that saw significant unrest and economic disruption. The Financial Express highlights that the BNP's victory is seen as a turning point, with citizens expressing hopes for stability, jobs, and improved governance under Rahman's leadership. The party's campaign focused on financial aid for poor families, anti-corruption measures, and limiting the prime minister's term to 10 years.
