Sheikh Hasina's "Backdoor Entry" Rocks Bangladesh Politics, Yunus Faces New Challenge

• Nahid Islam claims Awami League leaders are joining other parties, signaling Sheikh Hasina's "backdoor entry" into mainstream politics.
• Awami League, despite facing lawsuits, retains a massive vote bank and activist network, making it politically indispensable.
• Opposition parties like BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami are reportedly wooing AL leaders to secure their significant vote base.
• An incident in Debidwar, Cumilla, saw 200 AL members publicly join BNP, illustrating the trend.
• Analysts view this as a strategic move by Hasina's party to maintain influence and potentially win seats through other parties, posing a challenge for Muhammad Yunus's government.

Why It Matters: Sheikh Hasina's political influence endures through Awami League members joining rival parties, creating new challenges for Yunus's interim government.
