Bangladesh Voting Today | Tarique Rahman Rahman, Muhammad Yunus Cast Ballot In Bangladesh election

Voters cast ballots across Bangladesh on Thursday in a parliamentary election seen as a critical test of the country’s democracy after years of political turmoil. More than 127 million people are eligible to vote in Bangladesh’s first election since former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s government collapsed in 2024 after weeks of mass protests, dubbed by many as a Gen Z uprising. Hasina fled the country and her party is banned from the polls. She is living in exile in India. Tarique Rahman of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party is a leading contender to form the next government. He is the son of former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia and returned to Bangladesh in December after 17 years in self-exile in London.
