BNP Leader Tarique Rahman Emerges as Potential Hero Post-Hasina Era in Bangladesh Politics
Bangladesh's opposition leader Tarique Rahman may be seen as the change the country is looking for after a long period under Prime Minister Hasina's rule, according to recent rallies and campaign events. Tens of thousands of people attended rallies in support of Rahman, who has been absent from politics since 2008 due to his exile.
Tens of thousands of people gathered for a BNP campaign rally in Gazipur, a garment manufacturing hub north of Dhaka, as supporters call on Tarique Rahman to lead the party and bring about change post-Hasina Bangladesh. The rally comes as opposition parties seek an alternative leader after the departure of Hasina's ally, Sheikh Hasina, from politics. Rahman, who is currently in exile, is seen by some as a potential unifier and capable of leading the country out of its current crisis. His return to politics could signal a shift towards stability and change in post-Hasina Bangladesh.
