1991 Bangladeshi general election

The 1991 Bangladeshi general election was a pivotal political event that marked the country's return to parliamentary democracy after years of authoritarian rule. Held on February 27, 1991, it was the first election in Bangladesh since 1979. The election was conducted under a new constitution that reinstated multi-party democracy, and it resulted in a victory for the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) led by Khaleda Zia. This election helped stabilize Bangladesh's political landscape, paving the way for civilian rule, democratic continuity, and the establishment of a parliamentary system with regular elections.
