    LIVE: Tarique Rahman's BNP Wins In 212 Seats, Referendum Gets 'Yes'

    Bangladesh Election Results LIVE: Steered by a leader back to the country after a 17-year exile, Tarique Rahman-led BNP raced towards a decisive win in the crucial national election held on Thursday.

    Bangladesh Election Result 2026 LIVE: Steered by a leader back to the country after a 17-year exile, Tarique Rahman-led Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) raced towards a decisive win in the crucial national election held on Thursday. The party called for nationwide prayers, instead of joyous processions, as it returns to power 20 years since Khaleda Zia's tenure ended in 2006.

    While the Jamaat-e-Islami conceded defeat, its ally National Citizen Party alleged tampering of Bangladesh election results and an audit before the final declaration.

    Among those who congratulated Tarique Rahman were Prime Minister Modi, Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari and Shahbas Sharif, and the US Ambassador to Bangladesh.

    This is the first election since the July 2024 uprising that ended former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's 15 years of iron-fisted rule. The Bangladesh election on Thursday involved more than 127 million eligible voters in the nation of around 170 million people, with 1,981 candidates contesting across 299 parliamentary seats nationwide, according to the Election Commission of Bangladesh (ECB). Voting was cancelled in one constituency due to the death of a candidate.

    The country's political landscape has for decades revolved around two rival dynasties. On one side is the Awami League, headed by Hasina, and on the other is the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, now led by Tarique Rahman, son of former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, who died in December. Challenging the BNP is a broad 11-party coalition spearheaded by the Islamist Jamaat-e-Islami, which is now emerging as the main opposition in the country.
