Bangladesh politics and democracy

Lakshmipur-3 and Brahmanbaria-2 by-polls / Is this the model for the 2024 national election?

The by-elections in Laxmipur-3 and Brahmanbaria-2 have once again laid bare the grim political reality of Bangladesh, all while the country is just about two months away from its national election.

Soft openings, hard politics

As the political landscape heats up in anticipation of the general election, the ruling Awami League seems to be pulling out all the stops

What was the compromise about?

Awami League should come clean on the comments of its secretary general

Don’t waste precious hours on self-praise

Parliament must be a place where leaders passionately engage in policymaking

Rising AL-BNP confrontation is most disturbing

It doesn't bode well for our democracy

A Detriment to Democracy

The rigid positions of AL-BNP will only lengthen the political deadlock

It's Over, Finally

A peaceful BNP rally brings relief, but it may be short-lived without compromise from the ruling camp

The heat is on, but cooler heads must prevail before election

Recent political developments signal an unsteady path to the national election

Recent leadership changes may appear chaotic, but ultimately demonstrate political accountability
