Bangladesh's February 12 election has delivered a landslide victory for the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), which will now form the first elected government since the July 2024 mass uprising that led to widespread protests and unrest across the country. The BNP's victory marks a significant shift in Bangladesh's post-uprising order, with the party's hardline leader expected to lead a new government. The outcome is seen as a major blow to the ruling Awami League, which had been trying to maintain its grip on power since coming to office following the ouster of military ruler Abdul Hamid in 2013. The election result sets the stage for a period of significant political upheaval and instability in Bangladesh.
