Tarique Rahman-led BNP poised for landslide victory in Bangladesh’s Parliamentary election

Dhaka, Feb 13 (UNI) The Bangladesh Nationalist Party, led by Tarique Rahman, appears headed for a landslide victory in the parliamentary elections, local media reported on Friday. The crucial 13th parliamentary vote is expected to deliver an elected government in the South Asian nation, replacing the interim administration that assumed power following the fall of the Awami League government in August 2024.
Held on Thursday, the election was Bangladesh’s first national vote since the 2024 student-led mass protests that ousted long-time prime minister Sheikh Hasina.
The Bangladesh Election Commission said final results would be announced after full verification, and it was not immediately clear whether all postal ballots were included in early counts.
