Bangladesh is holding its first national election since the 2024 uprising that led to the removal of former leader Sheikh Hasina. The vote marks a significant political moment for the country as citizens return to the polls following the upheaval that reshaped its leadership.

The election follows a period of political transition triggered by the 2024 uprising, which ended Hasina’s rule. It represents an important test of stability and governance in the post-uprising era, as Bangladesh seeks to establish a new political direction after the leadership change.

The outcome of this election is expected to determine the country’s next phase of governance and could influence how Bangladesh rebuilds its institutions after the 2024 political turmoil.
