Bangladesh Election 2026: First vote Feb 12 after Sheikh Hasina's ouster
•Bangladesh's 13th parliamentary election is scheduled for February 12, 2026, as announced by CEC A.M.M. Nasir Uddin.
•This will be the first election since Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was removed from power in August 2024 following student-led protests.
•The interim administration, led by Chief Advisor Mohammad Yunus, is currently governing; Sheikh Hasina's Awami League is banned from participating.
•Key concerns for the election include restoring democracy, improving the economy, strengthening relations with India, and ensuring judicial independence.
•India hopes for a free, fair, credible, inclusive, and participatory election in Bangladesh.
Why It Matters: Bangladesh's 2026 election is a pivotal test for its democracy post-Sheikh Hasina's removal.
