Bangladesh Nationalist Party Wins Landslide In First Post-Uprising Election. The Bangladesh Nationalist Party has secured a landslide majority in Bangladesh’s first election since the 2024 student-led uprising that toppled the long-standing government. The result marks a dramatic turnaround for party leader Tarique Rahman, who has been living in self-imposed exile in London. Voters were choosing a new government while also taking part in a referendum on constitutional changes. The election follows the mass protests that ended the 15-year rule of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina. As many as 1,400 people were killed during the uprising, with Hasina accused of ordering a crackdown — an allegation she denies. Her party, the Awami League, was banned from contesting the vote. The outcome signals a major shift in Bangladesh’s political landscape. Meanwhile, Delhi is watching closely, as relations between the two neighbours deteriorated after Hasina fled to India following her removal from power.
