The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), led by Tarique Rahman, has secured a decisive victory in Bangladesh’s general elections, ending nearly two decades of dominance by the Awami League. The outcome marks a major political shift in the country’s governance landscape.
Bangladesh elects members to its unicameral legislature, the Jatiyo Sangshad (National Parliament). The Parliament comprises 350 seats, of which 300 are filled through direct elections under the first-past-the-post system, while 50 seats are reserved for women and allocated proportionally to parties based on their performance in the general election.
