Tarique Rahman, a leader of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), has returned to Bangladesh after a period of exile. His return is described as potentially significant for Bangladesh's democratic transition. An Oxford University expert suggests Rahman now faces a test to demonstrate that his leadership will differ from that of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who left office in disgrace. Rahman's actions will be closely watched to see if he can avoid repeating past mistakes. His return and subsequent actions are expected to have a major impact on the political landscape of Bangladesh.
