What does the Bangladesh Nationalist Party’s (BNP) win imply for the way forward for the nation? | DW News

The Bangladesh Nationalist Party’s (BNP) prime ministerial candidate, Tarique Rahman, looks set to become the country’s next leader after the party claimed a "decisive victory" on Friday.

Rahman returned home in December after more than 17 years in self-imposed exile following mass protests in 2024 that toppled longtime premier Sheikh Hasina.

Going into Thursday’s vote, Rahman had set his sights on securing a mandate strong enough to govern alone, and he had pledged to restore peace and stability under a democratic government, following years of increasingly authoritarian rule.
