Bangladesh Nationalist Party

The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) is a significant force in Bangladeshi politics, having led the country thrice and being associated with two of its first female prime ministers. The party's chairman, Tarique Rahman, is currently campaigning for the post of prime minister after his return from exile. Recent news highlights the BNP's role in Bangladesh's democratic transition, particularly following the ouster of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The upcoming national elections on February 12 will be a major test for democracy in the country, and the BNP's performance is expected to shape the nation's political landscape. With Khaleda Zia's death marking the end of an era, her legacy continues to influence the party's stance on key issues.
