Bangladeshi-origin Canadian politician Dolly Begum has been elected as a Member of Parliament in Canada’s federal election, becoming the first Bangladeshi to achieve this milestone. Representing the ruling Liberal Party, she secured a decisive victory in the Scarborough Southwest constituency of Toronto, Ontario. The result was confirmed by a report from CBC News on April 14, 2026.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney congratulated Begum, praising her dedication to building a fairer Canada and her strong advocacy for community development. The Liberal Party also expressed enthusiasm, noting her long-standing grassroots work for public rights and her new role as part of the Liberal team in Parliament. Before joining the Liberals, Begum served successfully as a member of Ontario’s provincial parliament representing the New Democratic Party.
Analysts described her victory as a significant moment for the Bangladeshi diaspora, highlighting how her journey from Moulvibazar, Bangladesh, to Canada’s national legislature symbolizes growing representation of immigrant communities in Canadian politics.
