Bangladesh Election 2024: Sheikh Hasina Secures Fifth Term Amid Opposition Boycott

• In a momentous turn of events, Bangladesh’s Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been re-elected for a fifth term, marking a significant milestone in the country’s political landscape. The ruling Awami League, under Hasina’s leadership, has triumphed once again, securing more than half of the parliamentary seats. This victory reaffirms Sheikh Hasina’s position as the world’s longest-serving female head of government.
• The election was notably marred by the boycott of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), led by the former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, who is currently incarcerated. Labeling the BNP as a “terrorist organization,” Hasina’s government faced no significant challenge from this major opposition party.
