DHAKA: Bangladesh’s election campaign entered its final day Monday ahead of the Feb 12 vote, as rival parties invoked the 2024 uprising that ended the autocratic rule of Sheikh Hasina.
Tens of thousands of flag‑waving supporters have attended weeks of rival rallies across the sprawling capital Dhaka, as parties each seek to harness the legacy of the mass uprising — and pitch competing visions of change for the country of 170 million.
The South Asian nation will elect a new parliament, with the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) — led by Tarique Rahman, who returned in December after 17 years in exile — widely tipped as a frontrunner.
