Bangladesh Election Results: The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) won an overwhelming two-thirds majority in Parliamentary elections held on Thursday, news agencies reported, citing domestic TV channels. The outcome is expected to bring stability after months of tumult following the ouster of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in a student-led uprising in 2024. Tarique Rahman, the 60-year-old chairman of the BNP, is all set to be sworn in as the next prime minister of Bangladesh. The Hindus of Bangladesh New Delhi has been closely watching the voting in neighbouring Bangladesh for several reasons. Even as Jamaat chose to reach out to Hindus, more Hindus chose BNP over Jamaat.
