Bangladesh General Election 2026 LIVE Updates: Bangladesh heads to a crucial national election today, the first since the July 2024 uprising that ended former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s 15 years of iron-fisted rule. The Muhammad Yunus-led interim administration has stated that it is committed to holding elections that are free, fair and peaceful. To help ensure this, around 500 foreign observers are set to be present, including from the European Union and the Commonwealth, to which Bangladesh belongs.
The country’s political landscape has for decades revolved around two rival dynasties. On one side is the Awami League, headed by Hasina, and on the other is the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, now led by Tarique Rahman, son of former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, who died in December. With the Awami League banned, the BNP has emerged as the front-runner, positioning Rahman as the leading candidate. Challenging the BNP is a broad 11-party coalition spearheaded by the Islamist Jamaat-e-Islami, which is seeking to expand its influence in national politics.
