Bangladesh Holds First Election After Uprising
Bangladesh is holding a crucial election. This is the first vote since a mass uprising ended Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's 15-year rule.
During her time in power, the country faced mob violence and attacks on press freedom. Religious intolerance grew and Islamists gained influence.
The rule of law weakened during this period. Bangladesh tightened security ahead of the election.
Klear Note — Bangladesh held elections under Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for 15 years. A mass uprising forced her from power in 2024. This election tests if the country can rebuild democracy and stability.
