Awami League leader Mahibul Hasan Chowdhury Naufel says Sheikh Hasina’s retirement is not a party decision, reaffirming her central role in leadership and future planning.
Sheikh Hasina is set to address international media from New Delhi on January 23, challenging Bangladesh’s interim government and warning against an exclusionary election.
Former Bangladesh Foreign Minister Hasan Mahmud argues that excluding the Awami League from the upcoming elections will destabilize the country, citing the party's historical importance and India’s support.
Bangladesh’s Awami League has announced a boycott of the February 12 parliamentary election, with Sheikh Hasina urging supporters not to vote if the party and its symbol are excluded.
Sheikh Hasina says Tarique Rahman’s return after 17 years risks deepening polarisation as Bangladesh heads into elections amid minority violence and growing instability.
