����️ Election News
On May 12, 2025, Bangladesh's Election Commission officially revoked the registration of the Awami League, the former ruling party led by ex-Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, barring it from participating in upcoming national elections expected by June 2026. This move followed the interim government's declaration under Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus banning the party and its affiliated bodies from all public and online activities under the country's Anti-Terrorism Act, pending the completion of a special tribunal trial involving party leaders. The government also warned that expressing support for the Awami League online could lead to arrest. The Awami League, one of Bangladesh’s two major political parties with historical significance since orchestrating the 1971 independence war, condemned the ban as undemocratic and divisive. Hasina and senior leaders have been in exile in India since fleeing after deadly anti-government protests in mid-2024, during which up to 1,400 people may have been killed, according to a U.N. human rights report. The party claims ongoing persecution of its members through arrests, violence, and property destruction. The international community, including the U.N., has cautioned against actions that could undermine democratic pluralism in the country. apnews.com
