Tarique Rahman, leader of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), is poised to become Bangladesh's next Prime Minister following a significant electoral victory. This comes after his return from a 17-year exile in London, a period marked by numerous corruption charges, including a conviction in absentia. According to Business Recorder, Rahman's coalition crossed the halfway mark in the parliamentary election, marking a 'remarkable reversal of fortune' for the 60-year-old leader. His return was facilitated by a youth-driven uprising that ousted his political rival, Sheikh Hasina, in August 2024. Rahman has pledged to introduce reforms such as a two-term limit for prime ministers and to diversify Bangladesh's economy beyond garment exports, as reported by Business Recorder.
