About
The Awami League, formerly led by Sheikh Hasina, is a significant political party in Bangladesh. They are newsworthy due to their recent ousting from power following a student-led uprising in 2024, which triggered landmark elections. Hasina, who served as Prime Minister for 15 years, was forced to resign and flee to India. The recent elections saw a landslide victory for the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), marking the first official general election since Hasina's government fell. Newly elected PM Tarique Rahman has publicly blamed the Awami League, and specifically Sheikh Hasina, for undermining the previous parliament. The Awami League's future role in Bangladeshi politics and its relationship with the new BNP-led government remain uncertain, making them a relevant subject of ongoing news coverage.
