India, Feb. 12 -- Voting is underway in Bangladesh today, February 12. This is a landmark general election that comes after the end of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina's 15-year rule. This is the first national election since a mass uprising forced her removal in August 2024. Many voters hope the polls will restore democratic norms after years of controversial elections and shrinking political space.
The transition process is being supervised by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus. Public expectations are high that the vote could reshape Bangladesh's political future.
