Tarique Rahman Takes Oath As Bangladesh PM After BNP's Landslide Win

Tarique Rahman has officially assumed office as the Prime Minister of Bangladesh following a significant electoral victory for the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). This landslide win marks a notable return for Rahman, who had spent 17 years in self-imposed exile in London. His return to Bangladesh in December 2022, after the passing of his mother, Khaleda Zia, a former Prime Minister and influential political figure, has been pivotal in galvanizing support for the BNP. The party's resurgence in the political landscape comes amid rising discontent with the incumbent government, and Rahman's leadership is seen as a beacon of hope for many supporters. As Prime Minister, he faces the challenge of addressing pressing issues such as economic recovery, social justice, and political stability in a country that has experienced significant turbulence over the years. Rahman’s oath-taking signifies not only a personal triumph but also a critical moment in Bangladesh's political history, with implications for future governance and party dynamics in the region.
