Watch: From exile to power: Who is Bangladesh’s new Prime Minister Tarique Rahman

The political landscape of Bangladesh is undergoing a significant transformation with the recent elections held on February 12, 2024. The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has gained momentum, positioning Tarique Rahman, the party's leader, to reclaim power after nearly two decades in exile. Rahman's return marks a pivotal moment in Bangladeshi politics, especially in the wake of the 2024 uprising, which has reshaped the political dynamics of the nation. As the BNP surges ahead in the election, Rahman's leadership is expected to steer the country towards a new direction. His previous tenure was marked by controversy and challenges, and his current bid for leadership comes amid heightened public expectations and a demand for change. With the BNP's resurgence, observers are keenly watching how Rahman will navigate the complexities of governance and address the pressing issues facing Bangladesh today. This election could signal a critical juncture in the country's democratic journey, as citizens seek stability and effective leadership following years of political turmoil and unrest.
