Bangladesh National Election: Bangladesh is set to create history today as the voters of the violence prone country will vote in the 13th National Parliament elections on Thursday. For a context, the Sheikh Hasina led government of Bangladesh was overthrown in a coup on August 5, 2024, following massive, student-led protests against her government, after which an interim government led by famous Economist Muhammad Yunus was ruling Bangladesh. The elections are very important in the history of Bangladesh as it will decide the fate of the currently ruling Muhammad Yunus government. The elections are also important for Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) which is eying a comeback with Tarique Rahman coming back from exile after 17 years.
What happened in Bangladesh after Sheikh Hasina’s ouster?
The elections come at a critical time in the country’s history, almost two years after the former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, was ousted following a student-led movement in July 2024.
The 2024 July Uprising ended the Bangladesh Awami League’s regime, which has now been barred from participating in the current election.
