Bangladesh Awami League

The Bangladesh Awami League is one of the main political parties in Bangladesh, founded in 1949. It is known for its strong role in the country's fight for independence from Pakistan in 1971. The party advocates for democracy, secularism, and social justice, and it has been in power multiple times since independence, with Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the country's founding leader, as its first major figure. Currently led by Sheikh Hasina, the party focuses on economic development, social welfare, and infrastructure while also facing criticism for issues like political repression and electoral fairness.
