Bangladeshi politics

Bangladeshi politics is characterized by a multi-party system, primarily dominated by two major parties: the Awami League and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). The Awami League, led by Sheikh Hasina, emphasizes secularism and development, while the BNP, historically led by Khaleda Zia, advocates for nationalism and Islamic values. Political rivalry often leads to tensions and protests. Elections are a focal point, with allegations of vote rigging and violence affecting the democratic process. Corruption and governance challenges also impact political stability. Bangladesh's political landscape is shaped by its history, socio-economic issues, and regional influences.
