Tarique Rahman's BNP Wins Big, But Jamaat-e-Islami's Rise Poses Internal Crisis

• Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) secures a historic victory in the 2026 parliamentary elections.
• Tarique Rahman returns from exile to lead BNP, capitalizing on public sympathy after Khaleda Zia's demise.
• Despite BNP's triumph, the fundamentalist Jamaat-e-Islami emerges as a significant challenge, securing 50-60 seats.
• Jamaat-e-Islami's performance is historic, far surpassing its previous best of 18 seats in 1991.
• Jamaat's manifesto, including economic growth, alcohol ban, minority rights, and improved foreign relations, resonates with voters, creating a dilemma for Tarique Rahman.
