Bangladesh to hold national elections in February, the first since 2024 mass uprising

  • Bangladesh will hold parliamentary elections on February 12, its first national vote since a deadly student-led uprising forced then Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to flee to India last year.
  • The vote will run alongside a referendum on implementing the so-called "July Charter", a state reform plan drafted in the aftermath of the unrest.
  • Former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia's Bangladesh Nationalist Party is widely seen as the frontrunner, competing alongside the Jamaat-e-Islami party, which has returned to electoral politics after the interim government eased restrictions.
