Former Bangladesh Prime Minister and BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia has had a street named after her in the United States. The city council of Hamtramck, located in Michigan’s northeast region, approved renaming a central portion of Carpenter Street—between Joseph Campau and Conant Streets—in her honor. The announcement was confirmed by the BNP Media Cell on Thursday, January 8, 2026.
According to the report, expatriate Bangladeshis view the decision by the city authorities as a unique recognition of Bangladesh’s history, leadership, and democratic values. They described the renaming as more than a symbolic act, calling it an international testament to the country’s political struggles. The move follows a previous instance in Chicago, where a street was named after former President Ziaur Rahman.
Bangladeshi expatriates have expressed widespread enthusiasm over the development, seeing it as evidence of their growing political influence abroad. Observers believe the naming will further strengthen social and cultural ties between Bangladesh and the United States, particularly in Hamtramck’s diverse community.
