Bangladesh’s BNP claims victory in elections: party official to AFP
DHAKA: The Bangladesh Nationalist Party led by Tarique Rahman claimed election victory on Friday, a top party official told AFP, after the first polls since a deadly 2024 uprising.
“This victory was expected. It is not surprising that the people of Bangladesh have placed their trust in a party... capable of realizing the dreams that our youth envisioned during the uprising,” said Salahuddin Ahmed, a leading BNP committee member.
“This is not a time for celebration, as we will face mounting challenges in building a country free from discrimination.”
